Chicken With a Thousand Legs

Chicken with a thousand legs so bright
Why do you do what you do to me?
Your clog dancing kept me up all night!
From now on this is what had better be….
Lay off booze, chicken. You are way too tight!
Unless you want me to be Simon Legree.
Chicken with a thousand legs so loud.
Why do I hear you all night in my dreams?
Why do you annoy me with yesterday’s cloud?
Would you rather be baked, fricasseed or steamed?

How about slow-roasted? LOL... Thought the second line might read: 'Won't you drive my sleigh tonight. ~ Kris Kringle
