Today our dear friend
chicken soup
this very ordinary day
boiled up a pot of
chicken soup
and swallowed it away
a-lack! a-day!
o-woe! oy-vey!
he swallowed it away!
now listen to what i'm gonna say
a little bone, a bitty thing
no bigger than my pinky-
he swallowed hot
from out that pot
in quicker than a winky
he gulped that soup
let out a whoop!
and fell down croaking
on the stoop
and he choked!
and he sagged!
and he smothered!
and he gagged!
and he let out a scream!
and he let out a moan!
then he cried
'cause he died
from choking on a bone
on such an ordinary day
like today
a-lack! a-day!
o-woe! oy-vey!
on an ordinary day
chicken soup passed away!
