Revamped, overhauled, grassy version: Some RTs cut and pasted to boot, some stuff re-done, something old, new and live A while back it started life as 'Organic is the Way', but that name smelled a wee bit like overuse of cow-dung maybe. F
PD I'll add a clip without embedded lyrics later ...
Once a chicken farmer, came home from sunday church For a while he rested, seated on his porch A mind full of religion, he saw the clouds up high Then he had a vision: chickens in the sky - chickens in the sky – oh me oh my – chickens in the sky
Eyes were red and fiery, and beaks were black as coal Flesh and feathers burned away, the devil took a toll Vengeance was their goal, they're coming for his soul No mercy nor compassion; it's time to rock and roll - Time to rock and roll, vengeance was their goal, time to rock and roll
In a hail of rotten eggs, and a stench that takes the day Claws dig in for flesh and bone, his fate was to be prey Freaked and full of fear, he tried to get away But there was no shelter, and it was too late to pray - Just too late to pray, his fate was to be prey, it was too late to pray
Down in chicken hell, they put him on a spit Roasted him quite well, above the fiery pit Served him hot and crispy, with butter, beans and fries "I must change my business", he came to realize - He came to realize, boy he's getting wise, he came to realize
And then when he woke up, with a shirt all soaked in sweat Became a vegetarian, with a soul full of regret Free-range for the chickens, the rooster cries hurray As when it comes to farming: organic is the way - Organic is the way, the rooster cries hurray, organic is the way - He came to realize, oh boy he's getting wise, organic is the way
Amusing though on a narrative level the chickens in the sky brainfart doesn't lead to anything except chicken revenge. As I listened and watched I felt the need for a new verse to develop the plot. Musically this is spot on. Well done.

Very well done with this one! My girlfriend's family is from Newfoundland, and is EXACTLY the kind of tune they love drunkenly singing along to. I got a good chuckle from this, so thank you!
