There's trouble, baby 
 in Paradise 
 Your chicken's trying to slide away from you 
 You're past your days of harmony 
 When you call it back - you carouse it through 
 Keeping your prayers on time 
 Getting burnin' love in cities you can't recall 
 He's packin' up and shackin' up 
 He's leaving home 
 Chicken feathers and all 
 To the bridge boys... 
 Gives you daytime, and the nighttime 
 Is for these... 
 Greasy chickens [x2] 
  
 (Backing vocals) 
 Can you stand it by your lonesome baby? [X2] 
  
 Say! Dig it! 
 You're livin' out your closets 
 You're fined a day and 
 So are most far behind 
 You defy the bill collector 
 With lipstick on it and a Valentine 
 You've seen worlds of bastards 
 But, better late than never - you understand 
 Your chicken didn't leave you for another woman 
 He left you for a younger man 
 To the bridge boys... 
 Push your love on the girls and bastards 
 And you'll be - a greasy chicken 
 Ha! 
  
 A greasy chicken 
 Good God! Sing! 
 A greasy chicken 
 Good God! Sing it! 
  
 (Backing vocals) 
 Don't you love all your freedom baby? 
  
 You're late - Ha! 
 But it was I who would 
 Define your soul food 
 And with your piece of mind 
 No less denied 
 No more chicken bones 
 Share your love jones 
 Because you fellas 
 Can't shake the vice 
 Hee! 
 My Lord! 
  
 Greasy chicken 
 Big fat, greasy chicken 
 Sing! 
  
 (Background vocals) 
 Can you stand it by your lonesome baby? 
  
 Greasy chicken 
 Greasy chicken - sing! 
  
 (Background vocals) 
 Don't you love all your freedom baby? 
  
 Greasy chicken 
 Big fat, greasy chicken 
 Here go gravy! 
  
 (Background vocals) 
 Can you stand it by your lonesome baby? 
  
 OH! A little gravy... 
 Grill a little gravy... 
 Greasy chicken - lawd! 
  
 (Background vocals) 
 Don't you love all your freedom baby? 
  
 OUTRO! OUTRO! OUTRO
