The farmer Lloyd was planning to eat
Supper with his mother-in-law
And was sent out to the yard
By his wife to bring
Back a chicken Mike is alive
I'm hearding its gurgling
It's in balance on a perk
It's walking very clumsly
Lloyd chose a five-and-a-half-month-old
Wyandotte chicken named Mike
The axe removed the bulk
Mike the chicken is alive
I'm hearding its gurgling
It's in balance on a perk
It's walking very clumsly
Mike the chicken becames famous
And it starts a career of touring sideshows
It's in the company of such other creatures
As a two-headed baby during tis show
Mike the chicken is died
I'm not hearding its gurgling
It isn't in balance on a perk
It is seex feet under now
He was also photographed for dozens of magazines and papers
And was featured in Time and Life magazines
In March 1947 at a motel in Phoenix on a stopover while traveling back from tour
Mike choked in the middle of the night
