Chicken Cordon Blues Lyrics

Steve Goodman Chicken Cordon Blues

When I first met you baby, you fed me on chicken and wine
It was steak and potatoes, and Babe I sure felt fine,
But now all you give me is this seaweed and the alfalfa
sprouts,
sunflower seeds and I got my doubts,
baby you left me here with these chicken Cordon Blues


My stomach is empty and all I got is food for thought
I've been sitting here thinking bout the 20 pounds of
groceries we bought,
we bought 10 pounds of brown rice, five more beans,
five pounds of granola and you know what that means,
I'm a regular fella, and I got the chicken Cordon Blues

SOLO

Now I'm starved for affection and I don't think I can
stand no more,
now this stuff is so strange, the cockroaches moved next
door,
don't you see that old dog, standing out in the street
with a big smile on his face because they let him eat
meat
And I got you, and I got the Chicken,
I got you and I got the Chicken
And I got the Chicken Cordon Blues
