CHICKEN LITTLE BABY
(Richard Penniman)
Little Richard - 1955


Well, I got the blues
My baby's gonna shout for joy, shout for joy
Yeah, I got the news
My baby's gonna shout for joy
Well, she says I'm her baby
She calls me her Little Richard (Rich) Boy

Yes, I got a chicken little baby
I got a chicken little baby
Come on, got a chicken little baby
Yea-eh-es, got a chicken little baby
Uh-hum, I got a chicken little baby
Ev'rybody wants her now

Well, tonight I stand with my heart in my hand
Yeah, tonight I stand with my heart in my hand
If I can't be your baby, I won't be your lovin' man

Yes, I got a chicken little baby
I got a chicken little baby
Come on, got a chicken little baby
Yea-eh-es, got a chicken little baby
Uh-hum, I got a chicken little baby
Ev'rybody wants her now

Yes, I got a chicken little baby
I got a chicken little baby
Come on, got a chicken little baby
Yea-eh-es, got a chicken little baby
Uh-hum, I got a chicken little baby
Ev'rybody wants her now
