hicken Lips & Lizard Hips - As performed by Bruce Springsteen
 ( John & Nancy Cassidy)

G
This is for all you kids out there that hate your mom and pop
For forcin' you to eat everything that's on your dinner plate every night

                          C                G
When I was a little kid I never liked to eat
                                         D
Mom would put things on my plate and I'd dump 'em on her feet
    G                                 C             G
But then one day she made this soup I ate it all in bed
                                   D                G
I asked her what she put in it and this is what she said:

                                     C          G
Oh, chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes
                                 D
Monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salamander thighs
      G                               C             G
Yeah, rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty toenail pies
                               D           G
Stir 'em all together and it's mama's soup surprise


(Harp solo) | G | G | C | G | G | D | G | G

                               C                 G
I went into the bathroom and I stood beside the sink
                                         D
I said, "I'm feeling slightly ill and I think I'd like a drink"
  G                                  C           G
Mama said, "I've just the thing I'll get it in a wink
                                 D           G
It's full of lots of protein and vitamins, I think"

                                         C          G
It was, chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes
                                       D
Yeah, monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salamander thighs
G                               C             G
Rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty toenail pies
                               D           G
Stir 'em all together and it's mama's soup surprise
