A SONG FOR PENELOPE: THE WHOLE DAMN THING

Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,

Favorite Young Man (a.k.a. Human Brother to Franklin and Penelope) learned of Penelope's wish for a chicken and found a special song for her. I'm including the lyrics because I can't understand all the words they're singing so I suspect you won't understand them either.





I got drunk and i ate a chicken
i ate the chicken i found in my kitchen
not just the leg, and not just the wing
i'll like to let you know i ate the whole damn thing

Well, i was pretty drunk, i must have been half-blind
but when i found the chicken, i knew she was so mine
i don't know where she'd come from, how long she's been
but i ate her anyway because I was drinking and i didn't care

I got drunk and i ate a chicken
i ate the chicken i found in my kitchen
not just the leg, and not just the wing
i'll like to let you know i ate the whole damn thing


Well, it turns out she's been there for a while
but it don't matter to me
she was heading for the garbage
and the big bad bird was for me

I got drunk and i ate a chicken
i ate the chicken i found in my kitchen
not just the leg, and not just the wing
i'll like to let you know i ate the whole damn thing

Well, i'm sitting in my kitchen
and i'm wondering where's my chicken
i don't know what to do, i feel so alone
'cause the only friend i have is a pile of chicken bones!


I got drunk and i ate a chicken

i ate the chicken i found in my kitchen
not just the leg, and not just the wing
i'll like to let you know i ate the whole damn thing

  1. He ate the whole chicken? And didn't share it with Penelope? That is a bad, bad man. And I hope that tired chicken bites him. Which it might if it has been in the fridge for long.

    1. It would be a different kind of biting from an old chicken that should be in the garbage.

  3. I love songs like this. Did Penelope find it enjoyable or did it just piss her off?

    1. She's pissed off, but it's because she still doesn't have a chicken.

  4. Oh, Penelope. And your mama probably won't let you have anything but boneless.

    1. That's right. Only the safest and the best for my shiny new Penny.

    1. I'll probably sing it for the rest of the day.

    1. The only meat I can think about at breakfast time is bacon.
