Frances Day - Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road? Lyrics

Please mister minstrel man
Please tell me if you can
Why did the chicken cross the road?
(Maybe he crossed to see)
(His favourite chick-a-dee)

Well what made that rooster stare
And who was that lady fair
Why did the chicken cross the road?
(Why did the chicken cross the road)

I ask my friend mister samuel
My friend mister bones
Asked mister banjo and asked mister jones
They said that that was no lady
That was his wife
You bet your life ya ya ya

Please mister minstrel man
Oh won't you tell me if you can
Why did the chicken cross the road?

Oh won't you tell me old black joe
I'm longing to know
Slip me the answer say it sweet and low
Hey fella what could be the reason
What made her go
Was she just struttin' around on the loose
Looking for trouble or cooking a goose

Monroe hips and those big - eyes
She had the ot they called her queenie
A slick little chick that attracted the guys
What made her do it she sounded so wise
A peck and a cackle a woop and a shout
Here comes a rooster you better look out

Hey hey hey cockle-doodle-doo

Please mister minstrel man
Please tell me if you can
Why did the chicken cross the road?
He took the high road and she took the low road

Well what made that rooster stare
And who was that lady fair
Why did the chicken cross the road?

I ask my friend mister samuel
My friend mister bones
Asked mister banjo and asked mister jones
They said that that was no lady
No that was his wife
You bet your life ya ya ya

Please mister minstrel man
Oh won't you tell me if you can
Why did the chicken cross the road?

Please mister minstrel man
Please tell me if you can
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Well I'll dig me a worm
Why did the chicken cross the road?
She wanted to be a little hen pecked
Why did the chicken cross the road?
