THE BALLAD OF CHICKEN SOUP

Today our dear friend Chicken Soup, This very ordinary day, Boiled up a pot of chicken soup And swallowed it away. A-lack! A-day! O-woe! Oy-vay! He swallowed it away! Now listen to what I'm gonna say. A little bone, a bitty thing No bigger than my pinky He swallowed hot from out that pot In quicker than a winky. He gulped that soup, And let out a whoop! And fell down croaking on the stoop. And he choked! Agh! And he SAGGED! And he SMOTHERED! And he gagged! And he let out a SCREAM! Aagh! And he let out a MOAN! Oh! Then he cried 'cause he died From choking on a bone On such an ordinary day like today. A-lack! A-day! O-woe! Oy-vay! On an ordinary day Chicken Soup passed away.
