lyrics

TASTES LIKE CHICKEN
(Bill Carter-Ruth Ellsworth - Blame Music BMI)

there's somethin strange bout mystery meat
when you find some you never did eat
bound to hear that authority explain
whether in a jar or in a can, super market
or a foreign land
they tell ya, "tastes like chicken,and looks like ham"

the other day i was in borneo i was walkin around with
nowhere to go
gettin kinda hungry so i stopped at smoky's
meat stand
i asked that wild man servin' it up, i say what can
you tell me bout this stuff
he said, "tastes like chicken, looks like ham"

CHORUS:
tastes like chicken, and it tastes like chicken
tastes like chicken and it looks like ham
fraid to try it? dont worry you'll like it
tastes like chicken and it looks like ham

sam's old lady got that look in her eye
she said, "i got somethin baby i want you to
try"
he said, "why not, you know i'm a gamblin man"
he tried a little bit, said with a grin, "hey thats
pretty good" as he wiped off his chin
tastes like chicken, looks like ham

CHORUS:

now i'm married, got kids of my own
they never bitch about the food at home
they eat every bite, spicy, hot or bland
rattlesnake, goose liver, brains in a cup
frozen peacock or the bill of a duck
they think it tastes like chicken, and look it like
ham
