Pip Squeak

Mrs. Hen sat on her eggs

She felt a little sick

So she got up to stretch her legs

and gave her eggs a kick

And when she kicked her babies thus

she heard one baby squeak

(She thought) Is he some kind of little mouse

who has a little beak ?

Now this strange noise alarmed the rooster

He came rushing in

(He said) My God has someone burst the booster ?

What a dreadful sin !

Now what's a booster you may ask

but that you'll never know

Even chickens need a mask

to make their babies grow

When Mrs. Hen returned to find

such pandemonium

She told them all well never mind

and pecked them on the bum

(She said) I'm your Mum and he's your Dad

and you're our little chick

and yes I am so very glad

my booster burst so quick

If you want to be my son

learn how to chirp and chip

We'll eat some corn and have some fun

I think I'll call you Pip

Now mice squeak that's how they speak

(and I'm) sure that's very nice

But you're a chicken with a beak

so please take my advice

Learn how to make the sounds we make

like other chickens do

Now if you don't I hate to say

what may become of you

So Pip grew up to be a man

He struts around the yard

He acts just like a cockerel can

but finds it very hard

You'll see him in the morning light

standing on the gate

(and even though) his parents warned him

he still makes the sound they hate

He squawks in the morning

just like his father's son

but in the evening then he'll squeak

just for a bit of fun

(He says) My parents taught me very well

how I ought to speak

But now you see I'm all grown up

sometimes I like to squeak

(So if you think) It's all gone quiet

(Then take care) 'Cos like a proper rooster

I could start a farmyard riot

(I could) Really burst the booster

And what's a booster you may ask

but that you'll never know

Even chickens need a mask

to make their babies grow

My parents taught me very well

how I ought to speak

But now you see I'm all grown up

sometimes I like to squeak
