From "Chicken"
They've stopped recording
I believe it's safe to talk.
Don't act surprised
There's probably one on every block.
For now let's try and stick
To what we each do best.
I'll knock over everything
And you clean up the mess.
You clean up the mess...
Small town burger on a capital grill
Daisy runway
Strutting pretty in the henhouse
Little girl on a big hair day
So shake a tail for the Mother Superior
Daisy runway
I've got a half penny flat
Says you can't do that
You're a wishbone breaker
But you can't outstare the sun.
And everybody knows you're the one
And everybody knows you're the one.
Your sister waitresses
Could earn their weight in tips
Just need some rollerskates
And contact paper lips.
So take a hold of the wireless
And tell us how you feel.
The lyrics may be lip synced
But the rhinestones are for real.
Rhinestones are for real...
Small town burger on a capital grill
Daisy runway
Strutting pretty in the henhouse
Little girl on a big hair day
So shake a tail for the mother superior
Daisy runway
I've got a half penny flat
Says you can't do that
You're a wishbone breaker
But you can't outstare the sun.
And everybody knows you're the one
And everybody knows you're the one.
We're burning fumes by time the second shift is through.
Who does your makeup - can they make me look as tired as you
I'll work the bench until they play the second strings
But I will treat the landlocked better once I've earned my wings
Once I earn my...
Small town burger on a capital grill
Daisy runway
Strutting pretty in the henhouse
Little girl on a big hair day
So shake a tail for the mother superior
Daisy runway
I've got a half penny flat
Says you can't do that
You're a wishbone breaker
But you can't outstare the sun.
And everybody knows you're the one
And everybody knows you're the one.
Well your mama says you've got a little swing
So a lot of big things might happen
If you're powdered up and ready to run.
