An old cowboy went out and bought a ranch in '65
Spent all of his money and no cattle could he buy.
So he called up Colonel Sanders and asked, "What should I do?"
The Colonel said, "Buy chickens, and build the chicken coop."
Now he's been a chicken rancher since he was 24
Yeah, workin' for the Colonel now for 30 years or more!
Ah, fixing all those chickens up and sending them to fry,
Now they want revenge.
Ghost Chickens in the Sky!
Chickens to bake, and chickens to fry.
Ghost Chickens in the Sky!
He was out a walkin' on his chicken ranch one day
He stopped along the chicken coop as he went along his way,
And all at once a rotten egg, it hit 'em in the eye.
It was, a terrible sight.
Ghost Chickens in the Sky!
Their beaks are black and shiny and their eyes are fiery red.
These chickens ain't got no feathers, folks, these chickens all are dead!
And they pecked on that rancher, he died by the claw.
They fixed him extra crispy,
And they served him with coldslaw.
Chicky-eye-aa, Chicky-eye-ooh!
Ghost Chickens in the Sky!
Now let this song remind you if you want eternal peace,
Don't raise up harmless poultry for to cook 'em in the grease!
For if you raise animals that you will someday kill,
A chicken may come to haunt you.
Oh, but tofu never will.
Chicky-eye-aa, chicky-eye-ooh
Ghost Chickens in the Sky! Cluck
Cluck
