This is the first single from Kelli Welli's new album to be released January 29, 2021, 'Let's Go, Pistachio!' Enjoy this and other good-hearted and somewhat silly songs for kids and the people who love them by Kelli Welli!
THANK YOU! Kelli Welli wrote this chicken song on request for her 7-year-old little friend, Marley Rose, about her best friend at the time, who just happened to be a chicken. Big thanks to Tim and Gabe for all their magical musical talents, to my husband Ross, my kids Ryan and Kira, the Gorman Family and all the fun kids and their grownups who helped, encouraged, and inspired.
lyrics
I am kickin’ it, kickin’ it with my chicken
My chicken, my chicken is kickin’ with me
Some people may say a chicken can’t be
Your best friend, but those people will see
My chicken bawk bawks
My chicken rock rocks
My chicken is rockin’ and kickin’ along
My chicken bawk bawks
My chicken rock rocks
My chicken is rockin’ and kickin’ along
My chicken is listenin’ to my song
And bobbin’ its head
And kickin’ along
My chicken has heart
My chicken has soul—
If you don’t have a chicken
You may not know
My chicken bawk bawks
My chicken rock rocks
My chicken is rockin’ and kickin’ along
My chicken bawk bawks
My chicken rock rocks
My chicken is rockin’ and kickin’ along
My chicken bawk bawks
My chicken rock rocks
My chicken is rockin’ and kickin’ along
My chicken bawk bawks
My chicken rock rocks
My chicken is rockin’ and kickin’ along
