My Gramma’s Chicken

(alternative lyrics to Alive and Kicking by Simple Minds)

You turn it on, you open up
And like the sweetest meat I’d share with you
You fill me up, don’t you ever stop, I’m gonna have two
Now it’s salt and something
and maybe some pepper too
You cook for me, and I, I, I eat for you
What you gonna do when the wings are done?
What you gonna do when the oil jumps up?
What you gonna do when I turn it down?
What you gonna do when the timer’s up?
Who is gonna come and turn the meat?
What’s it gonna take to get a breast or thigh?
Is is gonna be mash potato side?
Who’s gonna serve you?

My Gramma’s Chicken
Stay until your plate is, My Gramma’s Chicken
Stay until your plate is, until your plate is, all clear

Oh you lift me up to the counter top, so I can see
Oh you load my plate, till there’s no more room
And the thighs that fry on
But if that don’t make gravy
Like if someday it should be rue
You’ll make some more,  with the magic grease, and there will be more rue

What you gonna do when the wings are done?
What you gonna do when the oil jumps up?
What you gonna do when I turn it down?
What you gonna do when the timer’s up?
Who is gonna come and turn the meat?
What’s it gonna take to get a breast or thigh?
Is there gonna be mash potato side?

Just one more thigh
Just one more thigh
In the final seconds who’s gonna serve you?

Oh, My Gramma’s Chicken
Stay until your plate is, My Gramma’s Chicken
Oh, My Gramma’s Chicken
Stay until your plate is, My Gramma’s Chicken
