C                                 F       G
Well  I was peekin' in the pantry   there was nothin' there
        C                        D              G
I never been so hungry   but the cupboards were bare
C                               F       D
My baby said tonight it's gonna be slim pickin's
                C                             G             C
I said  are you talkin' about love or are you talkin' about chicken

[verse]

    C                                    F           G
The kids were out for the evenin'   they hadn't come back
      C                        D        G
So we snuck downstairs   for a midnight snack
       C                                  F             D
I said gal this sure is greasy   but it's mighty finger lickin'
                  C                             G             C
She said  are you talkin' about love or are you talkin' about chicken

[Chorus]

    G
Now chicken   ain't nothin'  but a bird
    C
And some say love is just a four letter word
          G
Since the bird is the word   you're gonna be alright
            C                          G       C
With just a little taste of one or the other tonight

[Verse]

       C                            F      G
Well I just finished perusin'   the Sunday news
          C                               D      G
And I was thinkin'  'bout grabbin' me   a midday snooze
         C                                     F         D
She said come here and stir the gravy  'til it starts to thicken
                C                             G             C
I said  are you talkin' about love or are you talkin' about chicken

[Verse]

      C                             F     G
I was over at the neighbors   for a bar-B-Q
    C                      D       G
The grill was cookin'  the Mrs was too
         C                                   F           D
She said come in here sweety   and give me a hand in the kitchen
        C                             G             C
Was she talkin' about love or was she talkin' about chicken

[Chorus]

    G
Now chicken   ain't nothin'  but a bird
    C
And some say love is just a four letter word
          G
Since the bird is the word   you're gonna be alright
            C                          G       C
With just a little taste of one or the other tonight

[Chorus]

    G
Now chicken   ain't nothin'  but a bird
    C
And some say love is just a four letter word
          G
Since the bird is the word   you're gonna be alright
            C                          G       C
With just a little taste of one or the other tonight
