\nJust a few steps from downtown
\nI had the pink chicken blues
\nAnd now I’ve got the pink chicken browns!<\/p>\n
\nThat makes 101
\nBut even that ain’t hot enough
\nTo get yo chicken done<\/p>\n
\nCook that chicken til it hurts!
\nI had the pink chicken blues
\nNow I have the pink chicken squirts!<\/p>\n
\nSteak can be too
\nBut cook your chicken well done
\nIf you don’t want the blues<\/p>\n
\nBlues that just ain’t much fun
\nLike a baseball-playin’ mascot
\nI’m pilin’ up those pink chicken runs!<\/p>\n
