TIC TAC TOE CHICKEN
(Tati Nguyen, Austin Hughes - © Austin Hughes Music, ASCAP)

Ladies and gents, roosters and hens
Listen to the tale of way back when
In New York Chinatown mine was the only head intact
Too famed to be eaten - Too smart to be beaten
Humblin’ good men with a scratch of a hen
TIC TAC TOE CHICKEN…
I reckon you don’t know half of what you’re missing
TIC TAC TOE CHICKEN…
Scratchin’ out a living now that’s something

Place your bets, baby I'm no pet
Feed me my lines - feed me feed me your dimes
She stares you down with a pensive look
You realize ya just been took
Too famed to be eaten - Too smart to be beaten
Fowl play is a dish served best uncooked
TIC TAC TOE CHICKEN…
I reckon you don’t know half of what you’re missing
TIC TAC TOE CHICKEN…
Victory’s mine to boast when you’re the roast

Take another turn whether you can ruffle my feathers
I'm up for the challenge, armed with wings and beak
Three tries: try, try, try to break your losing streak
What force is really in control?
The brain of a chicken or binary code
Who knows which way I'll go, Xs or Os
TIC TAC TOE CHICKEN…
I reckon you don’t know half of what you’re missing
TIC TAC TOE CHICKEN…
Three in a row, take home the dough
TIC TAC TOE CHICKEN…
To tell you the truth to lose my goose is cooked
