Chicken Shack Boogie
Hello cat I just got back
I'm looking for that place they call the Chicken Shack
They say it's fine as wine
And it's really all a ball
No windows no doors
It's just a hole in the wall
Did you say it was located down by the creek
Where you can get a whole gob of good things to eat
All good portions of chicken once more is a cinch
You can even get the last part that went over the fence
There's a place where the lights coming through the wall
You'd better be mighty careful, let's have a ball
Come on all you cats and take a drink from my pack
'Cause the party's ready to start down at the chicken shack
Down The Road A Piece
Now if you wanna hear some boogie like I'm gonna play
It's just an old piano and a knockout bass
The drummer's man's a cat they call Charlie McCoy
You know, remember that rubber-legged boy?
Mama cookin' chicken fried and bacon grease
Come on along boys it's just down the road apiece
Well there's a place you really get your kicks
It's open every night about twelve to six
Now if you wanna hear some boogie you can get your fill
And shove and sting like an old steam drill
Come on along you can lose your lead
Down the road, down the road, down the road apiece
Well there's a place you really get your kicks
It's open every night about twelve to six
Now if you wanna hear some boogie you can get your fill
And shove and sting like an old steam drill
Come on along you can lose your lead
Down the road, down the road, down the road apiece
