G
Well my pappy told me as I was sittin' on his knee
D7
About the birds and the bees and such
You can do right proud in a college crowd
G
But you ain't gonna learn that much
Get your degree in the ABC's
C
And dig out the cold hard facts
G
You've got to sell them chickens before they die
D7 G
And the eggs before they hatch
Now I was told at the Super Bowl
D7
When the crowd let out a roar
A big 'ole back with a ball and jack
G
And went on in to score
The coach recalled when he spiked the ball
C
Said forget the old cotton patch
G
I wanna sell them chickens before they die
D7 G
And the eggs before they hatch
Old slugger's ball was a-headin’ to the wall
D7
With what looked like a home run clout
But the fielder's glove went high above
G
And caught it for the final out
On the sporting page he was all the rage
C
When they asked him how he made that catch
G
Well I sold them chickens before they died
D7 G
And the eggs before they hatch
Now the boxing king climbed into the ring
