I thought I posted this, but do not see it. So, here it is.
Everywhere you went, years ago, you heard the cries of groups demanding rights. I remember the civil rights, the drinking rights of draft card holders, women’s rights. I was in all of them. But after a number of years the list got too big. Then one day a very happy red-eyed friend makes a meal of chicken and eggs. I thought: Pick on the whole family, won’t we? So there goes another song.

Chicken Liveration
By Agust (Chicken Picken) Gudmundsson
Come one - Gather all. Now is the time for the Chicken Liveration. Chicken’s Rights!
Brak bak ba ..
Over on the hill by the chicken house
The chicks were having a ball
With pigs at the door, a real live band
And corn from wall to wall
Well everything was going fine
Till off in the distance they heard
A band of people (people!) people
Speaking those people words
Chorus (I guess)
It was a very good year because we ate a lot of chicken
A very good year because we ate a lot of chicken
A very good year because we ate a lot of chicken
Chicken
Well Clara McClacker said: "Stop the ball!"
Now’s come a time for one and for all
To gather together in the Chicken Liveration
For the benefit of our listening audience I am at the capitol where the chickens have filled the balconies and the wings. In a moment we will hear from Senator Big-Butt on why he opposes chicken’s rights.
Senator Big-Butt:
Mom and dad used to eat a lot of chicken
The death of my grandpa was a bone from a chicken
So out of tradition, I’m just a chicken eater
The kids in school used to call me a chicken
The guys in the army - they knew I was a chicken
So now it’s my right. I’m a chicken eater.
Chorus
(How would you like it if someone took a bite out of your leg or ate your children before they hatched?!)

I won’t embarrass anyone by telling who did or sang what. One cool thing though. I fed the chord progression into a program called Jammer. I told it I wanted a banjo. I took what came back and fed the midi signal to a sample of a grand piano. That part is played under "For the benefit ..." My computer is not vain. It’ll play anything.
