D
If you do enough living, you’ll be faced with a decision
D
Between committing a sin and just committing another sin
D
Now you’ll want a shot at redemption, you want a shot at redemption?
D
Don’t use a rubber chicken, because then the sin just bounces back in
D
Now you take it by each wing and you sing
D
You sing, “won’t you help me swing this frightened chicken, it’s all I ever had”
D
Alright DD, get ready
D
Swing that chicken one time
D
Swing that chicken two times
D
Swing that chicken three times, alright!
