Possum in the Hen House

Lyrics

Possum in the Hen House words and music by Erin Friedman Night full-a pickin -- belly full-a beans Full moon shining through the trees Settle in to catch some zzz?s But papa won?t sleep tonight Possum in the Hen House Midnight chicken fight Possum in the Hen House Papa won?t sleep tonight Our chickens are no docile brood They?ll fuss and fight and they?ll abuse Any critter dare disturb their roost Like the Possum in the Hen House They?re the bad birds of the neighborhood Meanest chicks in Cottonwood Twas a fowl deed and they done it good To the Possum in the Hen House Possum in the Hen House Midnight chicken fight Possum in the Hen House Papa won?t sleep tonight Feathers flew ? the battle raged A friendly late-night search for eggs Ended at the pearly gates For The Possum in the Hen House Their cruelty rivaled KFC?s That fascist flock of feathered fiends Made marsupial mincemeat Of the Possum in the Hen House Possum in the Hen House Midnight chicken fight Possum in the Hen House Papa won?t sleep tonight
