Kathy Kallick Band - 25 Chickens

CHORUS
River gonna rise, sun’s gonna shine
We’ll be so dry we’re gonna drink wine
Dust gonna fly right into your eye
Then the river gonna rise again
Twenty five is a lot of chickens
Twenty five chickens is a lot of eggs
I can’t eat more than 5 a day
I’d better make some friends
Twenty five friends is a way too many
Can’t talk close with all or any
Better have a party with my best pal, Jenny
‘Til the river rises again
CHORUS
I only ever call to ask for favors
She’s gonna get mad and I can’t blame her
I never intended to try and save her
I just needed a friend
Is a friend in need indeed a friend?
Will they still be there at the river's end?
When the world's run down and the money's spent
Who's gonna hold your hand?
CHORUS
They started as tiny chicks in the basement
Chirped all night, a baby chicken's lament
They're big and fluffy and the color of lemons
Gonna be a lot of eggs
CHORUS
