Parody Lyrics from a traditional Boy Scout campfire song, edited by Darin McGrew.
----
A chicken farmer went to work one dark and stormy day
He leaned against the chicken coop as he rested on his way
When all at once a rotten egg just hit him in the eye
It was the sight he dreaded: Ghost Chickens in the Sky
Bok bok bok bok! Bok bok bok bok!
Ghost Chickens in the Sky
The farmer had raised chickens since he was twenty four
Workin' for The Colonel for thirty years or more
Raisin' all those chickens, and sendin' them to fry
Now they want their just revenge: Ghost Chickens in the Sky
Bok bok bok bok! Bok bok bok bok!
Ghost Chickens in the Sky
Their beaks were black and shiny, their eyes were burnin’ red
They had no skin nor feathers, these chickens all were dead
They pounced upon the farmer, they killed him with a claw
They fried him extra crispy and served him with cole slaw
Bok bok bok bok! Bok bok bok bok!
Ghost Chickens in the Sky
Bok bok bok bok! Bok bok bok bok!
Ghost Chickens in the Sky

Woke up on a lazy Sunday
Ready for bacon, I was hungry
Smell a strange odor, make me nervous
Go downstairs, she made me breakfast
My wife’s on a healthy diet
Made up her mind, no use to fight it
Carbohydrate, she won’t buy it
Open up, she’s gonna make me try it
Lunch time is sprouts from Brussels
(She say) Make you fit and full of muscles
(I say) Running errands for a while
Order lunch made animal style [1]
My wife’s on a healthy diet
She gonna make me try it
I just wanna dip and fry it
Sorry, Hon, gonna super-size it
Dinner time looks like spaghetti
In my mouth tastes like zucchini
How I ask this while being nice?
Why this cauliflower lyin’ about being rice?
My wife’s on a healthy diet
Swiss chard, she make me try it
Now my butt is no longer quiet
Sit upwind, don’t sit beside it
Next week, she will be a vegan
Week later, she’ll go non-gluten
Next month, she will just start juicin’
Or Paleo, or whatever Oprah’s doin’
[1] animal style: a popular "secret" style at In-N-Out Burger

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!
I did It again, maxed out my card and then
Took out a loan so I could buy some more
Bought ten tickets to see the whole movie through
Then I ran straight into the Disney store
All this neat stuff cries to me, it is pleading
I need it all, though my cash is bleeding
Credit cards maxed, look at this sales tax
I need DVDs so I preordered three
And my wallet hurts, still I need more shirts
Keychains, and coffee mugs, I'll make more room
I need more Nick, Judy and Finnick
And a racing Flash, please take all my cash
Posters and pins, and that recording pen
That's shaped like a carrot, oh I need it now
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh! Buy everything!
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh! Buy everything!
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh! Buy everything!
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!
Oh, look a furry suit with tail and ears to boot
May be too small for me but I don't care
I bought the soundtrack twice, stereo is so nice
I need more figurines and it's not fair
Credit cards maxed, look at this sales tax
I need DVDs so I bought thirty-three
And my wallet hurts, still I need more shirts
Keychains, and LEGO sets, and board games too
I need more Nick, Judy and Finnick
And a racing Flash, please take all my cash
Posters and pins, and that recording pen
That's shaped like a carrot, oh i need it now
Give me the plushies and all the toys
Don't matter if it's for girls or boys
I need it all
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh! Buy everything!
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh! Buy everything!
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh! Buy everything!
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!
Buy everything...
