Oh, chicken, chicken, you can't roost too high for me. 
Chicken, chicken, come on outta' that tree. 

Chicken, chicken, chicken, you can't roost too high for me. 

C is the way we begin. 
H to make the letter hen. 
I am the way. 
C when the seasons are grey. 
K is to fill him in. 
E I'm near the end. 

C-H-I-C-K-E-N 

That's the way to spell chicken.
