Ballad Of Chicken Soup Lyrics - Really Rosie - Carole King

Today our dear friend 

Chicken Soup 

This very ordinary day 

Boiled up a pot of 

Chicken soup 

And swallowed it away 

A-lack! A-day! 

O-Woe! Oy-Vey! 

He swallowed it away! 

Now listen to what I'm gonna say 

A little bone, a bitty thing 

No bigger than my pinky- 

He swallowed hot 

From out that pot 

In quicker than a winky 

He gulped that soup 

Let out a whoop! 

And fell down croaking 

On the stoop 

And he Choked! 

And he SAGGED! 

And he SMOTHERED! 

And he GAGGED! 

And he let out a SCREAM! 

And he let out a MOAN! 

Then he cried 

'Cause he died 

From choking on a bone 

On such an ordinary day 

Like today 

A-lack! A-day! 

O-Woe! Oy-Vey! 

On an ordinary day 

Chicken soup passed away!
