Thank the Chickens\n\nWhen the goose had made my feather bed / He sat back down in his cosy nest\nGive him half an hour and he\u2019ll feel better\nHe only needs to grow back all his feathers\nThank you goosey for my feather bed\n\nI looked all round the factory / Searching for the goose who laid that duvet for me\nI\u2019d really like to shake him by the flipper\nFor keeping me so warm in frosty weather\nThank you goosey for my feather bed\n\nAnd when I\u2019m done I\u2019ll thank the pig who laid this bacon\nWhen I\u2019m done, I\u2019ll thank the chickens\nWhen I\u2019m done, I\u2019ll thank the cow who popped this steak\nI hope it\u2019s not important what they\u2019re missing\n\nThe farms are filled with brids and bees / Lamb donor retirees\nPlaying by the river with their grandkids\nGambling [or gamboling] not for matchsticks but for giblets\nThat\u2019s the scene that plays around in my head\nSo thank you goosey for my feather bed
