Chicken Lips

Yea, when I was a little kid see I never liked to eat

And Mama put things on my plate and I'd dump 'em on her feet

But then one day she made this soup I ate it all in bed

I asked her what she put in it, well this is what she said

Oh chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes

Yea monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salimander thighs

Well, rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty toenail pies

Stir 'em all together and it's Mama's Soup Surprise.

Well now I went in the bathroom and I stood beside the sink

I said I'm feeling slightly ill and I'd think I'd like a drink

Mama said I have just the thing, I'll get it in a wink

It's full of lots of protein and vitamins, I think

It was chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes

Yea monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salimander thighs

Rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty toenail pies

Stir 'em all together and it's Mama's Soup Surprise.
