Chicken Lips and Lizard Hips
Bruce Springsteen

Play G during spoken part
Spoken:  This is for all you kids out there that hate your mom and pop for
forcin you to eat everything thats on you dinner plate every night.

                                                 
Yea, when I was a little kid see I never liked to eat
                                                       
And Mama put things on my plate and Id dump em on her feet
                                                 
But then one day she made this soup I ate it all in bed
                                                   
I asked her what she put in it, well this is what she said

                                             
Oh chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes
                                             
Yea monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salimander thighs
                                                  
Well, rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty toenail pies
                                        
Stir em all together and its Mamas Soup Surprise.

                                                      
Well now I went in the bathroom and I stood beside the sink
                                                        
I said Im feeling slightly ill and Id think Id like a drink
                                                 
Mama said I have just the thing, Ill get it in a wink
                                          
Its full of lots of protein and vitamins, I think

                                                 
It was chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes
                                             
Yea monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salimander thighs
                                            
Rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty toenail pies
                                        
Stir em all together and its Mamas Soup Surprise.
