INTRO: C#

C# B C#

On a chicken farm just downstream from Oak Ridge Tennessee

B C#

A nuclear reactor leaks some water accidently

F# C#

What happened next is like a horror story by Ralph Nader

B C#

That toxic waste leaked into a brood house incubator

(KEY CHANGE)

D C D

Inside that chicken coop they always keep the TV on

C D

Said the programs help the chicks to grow, help to keep them calm

G D

As 4 little chickens put that heavy water down their gullets

C D

The kung fu show was on the air and somethin' happened to those pullets

D G C G A

They began to grow, and grow, with that kung fu show locked in their brains

G C A

That's the only way we can explain

CHORUS 1:

A G D

Teenage mutant kung fu chickens (buck-buck-buck)

D C A

Big as a house strong as the dickens (buck-buck)

D C

Anything they want is easy pickins (buck-buck-buck)

A D C

For teenage mutant kung fu chickens (buck-buck-buck)

D C D

One said his name was Fricassi, the second Cordon Bleu

C D

The third was Catchetori, and the fourth they just called Stew

G D

They could've been dangerous having grown so big on heavy water

C D

But they decided they would live their lives on the side of law and order

CHORUS 2:

A G D

Teenage mutant kung fu roosters (buck-buck)

D C A

Bad guys won't have it easy like they uster (buck-ack)

D C

They come with tai kuando and all the fixins (buck-buck-buck)

A G

They're teenage mutant kung fu chickens (buck-buck-buck)

SPOKEN:

C

Yeah, we's just all down there at the barn holdin' the auction

So we wouldn't lose the farm, when all of a sudden these big pullets

With black scarves 'round their fore'ds come over that hill yonder and

Surrounded them bankers, pecked 'em on the heads, dropped 'em like green persimons.

Yeah then they went down there at the bottom 'forty, start scratchin' around like

chickens'd wan' to do, 'fore you know it they'd plowed that whole field ready for plantin'.

Yeah, they saved our farm.

C A/

CHORUS 1

A D C A
