The Ballad of Chicken Soup Songtext
von Carole King

Today our dear friend
Chicken soup
This very ordinary day
Boiled up a pot
Of chicken soup
And swallowed it away
Oh ahh, a day
Oh whoa, oye

He swallowed it away
Now listen to what I′m gonna say
A little bone, a bitty thing
No bigger than my pinky

He swallowed hot
From out that pot
In quicker than a winky


He gulped that soup
Let out a whoop
And fell down croaking
On the stoop

And he choked, aah
And he sagged
And he smothered
And he gagged

And he let out a scream
And he let out a moan
Then he cried
'Cause he died
From choking on a bone
On such an ordinary day
Like today

Oh ahh, a day
Oh whoa, oye
On an ordinary day
Chicken soup passed away
