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!
