Louis Jordan - That Chick's Too Young to Fry

Say boy, don't you harm that bird
Don't you dare to try
Start releasin' the chicken or you'll get a lickin'
That chick's too young to fry

Hey boy, better take my word
Here's the reason why
Gotta feed her steady 'til she gets ready
That chick's too young to fry

Take her back in the barnyard
Then let her go, just turn her loose
Way out ther in the barnyard
Where she'll grow up for better use

Hey boy, there will come a time
Someday by and by
She'll be ready for fryin', so stop your cryin'
That chick's too young to fry

Take her back in the barnyard
Then let her go, just turn her loose
Way out ther in the barnyard
Where she'll grow up for better use

Hey boy, there will come a time
Someday by and by
She'll be ready for fryin', so stop your cryin'
That chick's too young to fry

Get away, stay away, come back another day
That chick's too young to fry
