Psycho Chicken

(parody of "Psycho Killer")

Words & Music:

The Fools

 

Man, this was a fun song when I was growing up around Boston.  Some people replace "What the fuck?" with a "Bwak!  Bwak!  Bwak!"  chicken sound - for modesty's sake, I'm sure

 

Am   Am/E  Am/G  [vamp for intro & verses]  [intro over demented chicken sounds]

 

Am                                  Am/E  Am/G  [etc.]

I can't seem to face up to the facts.

I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax.

This Colonel Sanders job is gettin' me down.

A crazy chicken chasing me all over town.

 

CHORUS:

F                G

Psycho Chicken.  What the fuck?

Am

Bwak bwak bwak bwaaak bwak bwak bwak bwak bwaaak bwak!

       F              G                   C     F         G

Better run, run, run, run, run, run, run away.  Oh-----!  Ay-ay-ay-ay!

 

I don't know just what to do.

He's got a grudge against Frank Perdue.

He's clucking a lot, but he's not saying anything.

I plucked him once, why pluck him again?

 

CHORUS:

 

 

 

Bm                                C

Colonel Sanders wants to cook his goose.

Bm                                C

But Psycho Chicken's still on the loose. ("Hmm, a little chickie!  BWAAK!  OHH!")

A                                   G

They caught him down in Ohio.  They cut off his head and they put him in the oven.

     A

They put him in a box right next to a roll.

A

Put some cole slaw 'round his legs and someone took him home.

A

Ate him for lunch and he tasted real fine.  ("BURP!")

A

But the guy who ate him, he just lost his mind!

 

CHORUS:  [replace "What the Fuck?" with "Qu'est-ce que c'est?"]

 

CHORUS:  [regular words]

 

OUTRO:  Am  Am/E  Am/G [vamp over demented chicken sounds and out]
