The Song of the One Legged Chicken Lyrics

Do you like true stories? I do
That's why I'm singing this song
A song about one legged chicken
Who lives in the straw on the floor in my barn

I remember the day she was hatched out
The vet came to see her and said
"She has only one leg, she'll never grow up"
He said that chick would be better off dead

I said, "No, let's just let her keep growing
We'll just wait and see how she gets"
Before very long she was hopping
And pecking and chasing the bugs with the rest

And now she is a beautiful chicken
Though she has only one leg
When I go to see her each morning
She hops from the nest and she leaves me an egg
And she cackles

Do you like true stories? I do
That's why I've sung you this song
The song about the one legged chicken
Who lives on the floor in my barn
