The Chicken Or The Egg
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Which come first, the chicken or the egg?
Which come first, the chicken or the egg?
How could somethin' so fat and burly
Come from somethin' so smooth and pearly?
Which come first, the chicken or the egg?
Which come first, the feather or the shell?
Which come first, the feather or the shell?
When you see one egg or t'other,
Do you ever think about its mother?
Which come first, the feather or the shell?
Now eggs are all so purty, lyin' on a plate,
Or sittin' here in a carton, neat and straight.
And lookin' inside a box of eggs might make you feel so great,
But do you ever wonder where they was, before they was inside that crate?
Which come first, the chicken or the egg?
Which come first, the chicken or the egg?
Now if you wanted to begin again,
Would you start with an omelette or a hen?
Which come first, the chicken or the agg?
The chicken or the egg?
