A Chickenain't Nothing but a Bird Songtext
von Cab Calloway

Chicken, nice fried chicken
Barbecued chicken, won′t you send it down the line?

Say everyone's talking ′bout chicken
Chicken's a popular word
But anywhere you go, you're bound to find
A chicken ain′t nothin′ but a bird

Some folks call it a fowl
That's the story I heard
But let ′em call it this and let 'em call it that
A chicken ain′t nothin' but a bird


You can boil it, roast it, broil it
Cook it in a pan or a pot
Eat it with potatoes, rice or tomatoes
But chicken′s still what you got, boy
It was a dish for old Caesar
Also, King Henry III
But Columbus was smart, said, "You can't fool me
A chicken ain't nothin′ but a bird"
