Carole King - The Ballad Of Chicken Soup lyrics
Today our dear friend 
Chicken Soup 
This very ordinary day 
Boiled up a pot of 
Chicken soup 
And swallowed it away 
A-lack! A-day! 
O-Woe! Oy-Vey! 
He swallowed it away! 
Now listen to what I'm gonna say 
A little bone, a bitty thing 
No bigger than my pinky- 
He swallowed hot 
From out that pot 
In quicker than a winky 
He gulped that soup 
Let out a whoop! 
And fell down croaking Carole King - The Ballad Of Chicken Soup - http://motolyrics.com/carole-king/the-ballad-of-chicken-soup-lyrics.html
On the stoop 
And he Choked! 
And he SAGGED! 
And he SMOTHERED! 
And he GAGGED! 
And he let out a SCREAM! 
And he let out a MOAN! 
Then he cried 
'Cause he died 
From choking on a bone 
On such an ordinary day 
Like today 
A-lack! A-day! 
O-Woe! Oy-Vey! 
On an ordinary day 
Chicken soup passed away!
