Hey boy don't you harm that bird don't you dare to try
Start releasin' that chicken or you'll get a lickin'
That chick's too young to fry
Hey boy better take my word here's the reason why
Ya gotta feed her up steady 'til she gets ready
That chick's too young to fry
Take her back in the barnyard let her go just turn her loose
Way out there in the barnyard she'll grow up for better use
Hey boy there'll come a time some day by and by
She'll be ready for fryin' so stop your cryin'
That chick's too young to fry

Get away stay away come back another day
