"Chicken House Squawk"
parody of "Jail House Rock" performed by Elvis Presley

The farmer threw a party in the chicken coop,
The Grand Old Chicken did the loop-de-loop,
The farmer dressed up as a Canadian moose,
Did the can-can and fell on his caboose.

Chorus:
Let's squawk, everybody let's squawk!
Everybody do the chicken walk.
Flap your wings and squawk!

All the little porkies did the sausage jig.
Bessie the Cow wore a silly wig,
Roger the Rooster did the cock-a-doodle-doo,
The farmer's wife shouted, "Join us, too!"

(Chorus)

The tractor pulled a trailer full of big ol' spuds,
The horse took a dive into a pool of suds,
The dog went a'waltzing with the barnyard cat,
Everybody ran from the big fat rat.

(Chorus)
