Chucks dream of flying too. Yer just know it to be true, right? So here is a song about flying chucks!
About the song
Best sung to Paul McCartney’s “My Brave Face”, this was crash-written before the Brandy Badgers’ Public Rehearsal on June 29th 2015. The song more or less wrote itself when I got started. Perhaps because I may have been just so slightly inspired by the movie “Chicken Run” when I jotted down them words. Well, I am sure it doesn’t show…
More of me songs in the songbook! Enjoy!
Lyrics: The Chicken Flying Song
Up there up there in the sky
I look up to the sky
Birds above me soaring high
How I wish it was me
All unfettered and free
And I will never fall down
Then I look at my wings
Such a pair of useless things
They won’t carry me high
How I wish I could fly
Through the sky and I will never fall down
Let us hatch a cunning plan
The age of airborne chucks at hand
We’ll be the pride of poultry if we fly
Henhood’s finest minds at work
Imagination goes berserk
As we … aim sky high
Nothing ever stops a chuck
We’ll rise up high above the muck
The drawing board shows how it’s done
And before the night we’ll be gone
Soaring through the bright blue sky
Soaring through the bright blue sky
Up there up there in the sky
In the sky
Gather all that we need
Lots of worms and chicken feed
Nails and hammers and oak planks
Bring a rusty crank
Linen cloth and we are ready to begin
Push the coop up on the roof
For it is time to bring the proof
That no minds are as fine as those of chucks
This old coop will surely fly
Yer do not have to wonder why
When we soar high… yer hear our clucks
Leave this dusty farm behind
The chicken stars are now aligned
The drawing board shows how it’s done
And before the night we’ll be gone
Soaring through the bright blue sky
Soaring through the bright blue sky
Up there up there in the sky
In the sky
My Brave Face
And here is the video to Paul McCartney’s original song.
