Know Your Chicken Lyrics - Cibo Matto - Cibo Matto

Sixteen years ago, one day, 

I was walking down the street 

I was cruising in Brooklyn 

You know what I mean? 

Something was cooking, 

But wasn't yet a chicken. 

There was a man, 

Selling chicks in a box. 

He said, "two for one, but three for two." 

I said, "That's not bad, 

Here's money for you." 

One was magenta, 

The other was blue. 

I know my chicken 

You got to know your chicken 

I know my chicken 

You got to know your chicken 

I know my chicken 

You got to know your chicken 

I know my chicken 

One day, the blue one went away. 

The other grew up fuckin' well. 

She was noisy every night. 

I had always chicken-bite. 

Then I met a lover 

One night, she made me dinner. 

Licking finger, I wondered 

Where she got the chicken. 

Then I met a lover. 

One night, she made me dinner. 

Licking finger, I wondered 

where she got the chicken. 

I know my chicken 

You got to know your chicken 

I know my chicken 

You got to know your chicken 

I know my chicken 

You got to know your chicken 

I know my chicken 

You got to know your chicken 

Spare the rod and spoil the chick 

Before you go and shit a brick. 

Spare the rod and spoil the chick 

Before you go and shit a brick 

Spare the rod and spoil the chick 

Before you go and shit a brick 

Spare the rod and spoil the chick 

Before you go and shit a brick 

I know my chicken 

You got to know your chicken 

I know my chicken 

You got to know your chicken 

I know my chicken 

You got to know your chicken 

I know my chicken 

You got to know your chicken 

She went to college to study anatomy 

I followed her father's butchery 

We got two babies. Is it cool? 

One was magenta, the other was blue. 

I know my chicken 

You got to know your chicken 

I know my chicken 

You got to know your chicken 

I know my chicken 

You got to know your chicken 

I know my chicken 

You got to know your chicken 

I know my chicken 

You got to know your chicken
