Poultry Tale Lyrics

INTRO:

Drake:

IN OUR PATCH BEHIND THE FARMHOUSE WHERE THE PACE OF LIFE IS SLOW
THERE’S A WEBSITE WHERE JUST REAL WEBS ARE USED.
WE SPEND DAYS THE WAY DUCKS OUGHTA’ EATING BREAD THROWN ON THE WATER IN A WAY THAT KEEPS THE YOUNGER KIDS AMUSED.

IN OUR LAND BOTH GREEN AND PLEASANT

EVERY BANTAM, DUCK AND PHEASANT
IF THEY HAD THEM, WOULD BE WALKING ARM IN ARM
FOR OUR LIFE IS GOOD AND STEADY TIL WE'RE PLUCKED AND OVEN READY
IT'S A POULTRY TALE OF FOLK DOWN ON THE FARM

(Verse 1)

THERE'S A TURKY WITH A GOBBLE WATCH HIS LEGS BEGIN TO WOBBLE
Turkey:         CAUSE THANKSGIVING GIVES ME CAUSE FOR SOME ALARM!

WE’VE GOT PULLETS, WE'VE GOT CHICKENS , WE’VE GOT QUAILS 

AND WHAT THE DICKENS

 IT'S A POULTRY TALE OF FOLK DOWN ON THE FARM

(Ida enters)
WHAT A GORGEOUS VISION THIS IS IT'S IDA, SHE'S MY MISSUS
SO FORGIVE ME IF I'M LAYING ON THE SMARM
SHE GOES IN FOR HEATED QUACKING TO POINT OUT THE SKILLS I'M LACKING

All:

IT'S A POULTRY TALE OF FOLK DOWN ON THE FARM
COME ON DOWN  AND DON'T BE STRANGERS
IN OUR DUCKYARD OF FREE-RANGERS
IT'S A POULTRY TALE OF FOLK DOWN ON THE FARM

Girls:  HERE WHERE WATERFOWL HAVE WADDLED
LITTLE CHICKS ARE MOLLY-CODDLED
FOR THE CAT WOULD LIKE TO DO THEM GRIEVOUS HARM
HE'S OUR ONLY SOURCE OF WORRY FEATHERS RARELY GET TO FLURRY

All: IT'S A POULTRY TALE OF FOLK DOWN ON THE FARM
(The Cat sticks his head up from behind a clump of cat tails)

Cat: HA!

HOW THEY FLATTER THEMSELVES
I NEVER SHOW MUCH INT'REST IN THIS GROUP
I ADMIT I'M QUITE A GLUTTON,  BUT THIS FEATHERED FORM OF MUTTON
WOULDN'T EVEN MAKE A PALATABLE SOUP

BUT WHEN THOSE LITTLE DUCKINGS HATCH

THAT'S A FLAVOUR YOU WON'T MATCH
THEY'RE DELICIOUS AND I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH
AS A FELON WHO IS FELINE YOU WILL SEE ME MAKE A BEELINE
FOR THOSE TENDER LITTLE JUICY BALLS OF FLUFF

(The poultry drive the Cat off the stage)

All: Bo ger-doc-a-der, bo-ger-doc-a-der    Bo ger-doc-a-der, bo-ger-doc-a-der

Wah!      Boc-bo-ga-der!         Wah! Boc-bo-ga-der!

IN OUR WATERFOWL REGATTA

THERE'S A MOORHEN FOND OF CHATTER
AND A MANDARIN WITH ORIENTAL CHARM
YOU'LL FIND EVERY GOOSE OR GANDER
(Grace enters)
Grace: THO ‘OF COURSE I'M RATHER GRANDER

All:

COME ON DOWN AND DON'T BE STRANGERS
IN OUR DUCKYARD OF FREE-RANGERS
IT'S A                          POULTRY TALE
IT'S A                          POULTRY TALE
IT'S A POULTRY TALE________

OF  FOLK DOWN ON THE FARM  A-ARM-A-ARM

 B-GAD-EHR!
