lyrics
KILL YOUR OWN CHICKEN
D.A. Stern/Rhesus Rhymes (ASCAP)
First of all boss thanks for hearing me out
Let me get straight to the point boss ain't no doubt
Business is off here at the Chicken Shack
You had to let me go that's the cold hard facts
But I ain't hear to bitch boss let me make that clear
I'm here to make a pitch boss to jumpstart my entrepreneurial career
Yeah we got all kinds of competition right on this very street
Some got boneless breasts some got all white meat
Some got thirteen different kinds of barbecue sauce
Some got family night three dollars off
Some got stuff so good it's finger-licking
But here's my idea boss and it's really kicking
Are you ready?
Kill your own chicken
Wait wait wait I know it sounds kinda strange
but this is just the kinda idea this is just the kinda change
Gonna get people to sit up and pay attention
And lookey here boss I didn't even mention
We ain't talking about the dining experience alone
This is entertainment boss this is two birds with one stone
See we take that kids jungle gym out in the back and we
Turn it into a kinda chicken-chasing track
Give the birds a headstart - maybe ten seconds or so
When they make the first turn we let the people go
Charge 'em once for the plate once for admission
We hire some cheerleaders get 'em high-kicking
What do you say boss?
Give me a 'K' boss!
I see you're enraptured I see you're struck dumb
But hold on to your hat there's more to come
See by killing them birds in our backyard boss
We shorten the chain of supply plus we lower our costs
And here's one more thing gonna make the competition panic
We keep it all in house that makes us 100% organic
Yeah I already got the patent that's how pumped I am
And out in the back seat of my car I got my cousin's videocam
We'll make a video boss put it up online
The thing goes viral - people'll lose their minds!
Now - what do you say boss? You in this with me?
Cause if you ain't - I'm going down the street to KFC
Come on boss the clock is ticking
Sing it with me now...
Kill Your Own Chicken
K-I-double L Y-O-U-R O-W-N
Chicken!!!
