Lyrics

Legs, thighs, breasts, wings
Legs, thighs, breasts, wings
Pluck 'em, pluck 'em clean
Pluck 'em, pluck 'em clean
Legs, thighs, breasts, wings
Legs, thighs, breasts, wings
Pluck 'em, pluck 'em clean
Pluck 'em, pluck 'em clean
They say a fire awaits those who've sinned
A stinking lake of burning sulphur for an eternal swim
I'm not the type to sin, but if God won't let me in
Hell couldn't smell much worse than butchered chickens
On our feet in guts and grease
Bloody feathers, butchered meat
I met a gal from Mississippi
With a big old ass and a real tight pussy
But despite her many charms
When she got goosebumps on her arms
Couldn't think of nothin' else but butchered chicken
On our feet in guts and grease
Bloody feathers, butchered meat
No dead bird gon' ruin my fantasy
I'ma leave this place behind and move to the city
One day my prince gon' come, and he'll be vegetarian
And I'll never touch another stinking chicken
I see you flirtin', Spinner
I know you ain't tryin' to flirt while I got a cleaver in my hand
Only legs and thighs I need right here
Will you quit? I reek
Not to me, you still smell sweet
Young man, if you're here about a job, I'll see you in my office
Otherwise, get the hell out
This is a sanitary workplace, not a picnic
Sanitary, my ass
Quiet, enough out of you
Sorry, sir, didn't mean no harm
Just need a word with my wife
Sir, can I take five?
Make it quick, step outside
Everyone take five
