Ghost Chickens

Tune: Ghost Riders In The Sky

A chicken farmer went out one dark and dreary day.
He rested by the coop as he went along his way.
When all at once a rotten egg hit him in the eye.
It was a sight he dreaded---Ghost Chickens in the sky!

Chorus: Bok, bok, bok, bok,...
Bok, bok, bok, bok...
Ghost Chickens in the sky.

The farmer had raised chickens since he was twenty four.
Working for the Colonel for thirty years or more.
Killing all those chickens, and sending them to fry.
Now they want their revenge---Ghost Chickens in the sky!
Chorus:

Their beaks were black and shiny; their eyes were burning red.
They had no meat or feathers, those chickens were all dead.
They picked up the farmer and he died by the claw.
They cooked him extra crispy---and ate him with cole-slaw!
Chorus:

(Note from a Cub Leader in USA: This is a song I WISH I had written. It has reached cult status in our area. Whenever I lead this song, I always preface it by announcing that this is a song that is due great respect and reverence as it is said to be based on a
true and sombre event. It's fun to watch anyone present who has never heard the
song before as they try to keep a solemn expression until they realize that you
were just pulling their leg. :-)
