[stan] 6:23 a.m. - Song

Song: I Had a Little Chickie
Artist: Unknown

Why: Beats the heck outta me. It just popped into my head out of nowhere - I'd literally not heard this little tune since I was a kid.

The way we always sang it was:

Well, there once was a chickie
And she wouldn't lay an egg,
So I poured hot water
Up and down her leg,
Well, the little chickie cried
The little chickie begged;
And the poor little chickie laid
A hard-boiled egg.

Boom-diddly-yada, hot chick.

Well, there once was a chickie
And she wouldn't lay an egg,
So I poured gun powder
Up and down her leg,
Well, the little chickie cried
The little chickie begged;
And the poor little chickie laid
A hand grenade.

Boom-diddly-yada, no chick.

The weird things we remember...
