What would we do if the chickens were gone
It is something to think of, you see
Times would be hectic in this cookin' world
And would deeply affect you and me
Oh, we get pie with a little help from our hens,
Meringue up high with a little help from our hens,
Emeril's cry needs a little help from our hens.

Hens are so necessary
So necessary for food
Without their contribution
All chefs would surely be screwed..

There'd be nothing to scramble, and naught for souffle'
(We could never eat an ice cream cone)
Children at Easter would face a sad day,
(And no Chinese eggroll would be known)
Couldn't get by if we had no help from our hens,
Folks would cry if we had no help from our hens,
Sadly we'd sigh with no little help from our hens

There'd been no Colonel Sanders,
No Popeye's or KFC
There'd be no finger lickin'
'Least not concerning poult-ry

No legs and no thighs golden brown to bite
Everybody would be hungry all the time
No fried chicken place to spend Friday night
Only BK and Mac's left to dine
Life would be tough if we had no help from our hens,
Lacking and rough with no little help from our hens,
We need their stuff, all that little help from our hens

Let's hope it never happens,
That such loss is not linked
God protect all the roosters
So chickens won't be extinct

Need their supply, all that little help from our hens,
Let's gratify all the little help from our hens,
Couldn't get by without all that help from our hens,
We need that little help from our hens..

Next time you see a chicken, say thanks.
