16 years ago, one day I was walking down the street I was cruising in Brooklyn You know what I’m saying? Something was cooking But, wasn’t yet a chicken There was a man Selling chicks in a box He said, “2 for 1, but 3 for 2” I said, “That’s not bad – here’s money for you” One was magenta, the other was blue I KNOW MY CHICKEN YOU GOT TO KNOW YOUR CHICKEN One day, the blue one went away The other grew up fuckin’ well She was noisy every night I had always chicken-bite Then I met a lover One night, she made me dinner Licking finger, I wondered Where she got the chicken I KNOW MY CHICKEN YOU GOT TO KNOW YOUR CHICKEN Spare the rod and spoil the chick Before you go and shit a brick I KNOW MY CHICKEN YOU GOT TO KNOW YOUR CHICKEN She went to college to study anatomy I followed her father’s butchery We got 2 babies, Isn’t it cool? One is Magenta, the other is Blue I KNOW MY CHICKEN YOU GOT TO KNOW YOUR CHICKEN |
