will f. denny – all birds look like chickens to me lyrics

[introduction]
“all birds look like chickens to me,” as sung by mr. will f. denny, edison records

[verse 1]
sam green’s an educated fowlist
well+versed in chickenhood
when he can’t eat a chicken meal
his appetite ain’t good
he eats fried chicken every meal
has chicken salad for lunch
he never buys a solitary hen
for he gets them by the bunch
and when he sees a mockingbird
that coon will loud exclaim
“that bird is a talkin’ hen
although she’s changed her name”
hе also says a canary bird
is a chicken that’s learned to sing
and if you contradict him
this argumеnt he’ll spring:
[chorus]
“all birds look like chickens to me
crows look like black hens, you see
some birds are raised up for a prize
but a knife and fork make ’em all one size
people say quails ain’t chickens, you see
but they look like lilliputian hens to me
there’s eagles and owls and other fowls
but they look like chickens to me”

[verse 2]
sam green went over to a bird show
all nations of birds he’s seen
and when he spied a parrot, he
said “that hen’s painted green”
and when he saw a wild duck
that coon’s heart loud did beat
he said “that hen has got bowlegs
and a pair of ragtime feet”
but when he saw a peac+ck
that coon could hardly talk
he said “that is a coon hen
that’s learned how to cakewalk”
he also said that an ostrich
was a chicken that’s overgrown
and as he started homeward
these words he loud did moan:
[chorus]
“all birds look like chickens to me
crows look like black hens, you see
some birds are raised up for a prize
but a knife and fork make ’em all one size
people say quails ain’t chickens, you see
but they look like lilliputian hens to me
there’s eagles and owls and other fowls
but they look like chickens to me”
