Chicken Scratch lyrics

Back of the hen house the other night
(Chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chic)
It was awful dark and I had no light
(Chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chic)
Scramble around got hold of a goose
(Chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chic)
Got the little thing, had turned him loose
(Chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chic)

(Chicken!)
(Chicken scratch)
Chicken scratch
(Chicken!)
(Chicken scratch)
Chicken scratch

Down behind the hen house on my knees
(Chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chic)
Thought I heard a chicken sneeze
(Chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chic)
Sneezed so loud with a whoop and cough
(Chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chic)
Squeezed his head and the tail broke off
(Chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chic)
Yeah hey!
(Chicken!)
(Chicken scratch)
Chicken scratch
(Chicken!)
(Chicken scratch)
Chicken scratch

You take a one-step back and you ball and jack
You shim-shim-shimmy and you pull the tack
You make a little break the you turn it around
Fall off the log and you jump on down!

Out in the wild wood sitting on a log
(Chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chic)
With my finger on the trigger and my eyes on the hog
(Chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chic)
I pulled the trigger and my gun went zip
(Chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chic)
Jumped on the hog with all my grip!
(Chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chic)

(Chicken!)
(Chicken scratch)
Chicken scratch
(Chicken!)
(Chicken scratch)
Chicken scratch
Everybody, do the Chicken Scratch
Everybody, do the Chicken Scratch
Everybody, do the Chicken Scratch
Everybody, do the Chicken Scratch
