DOMESTIC AT THE HEN-HOUSE

[Intro] [Verse] Some call it communal living To others a barbecue fire For poultry not prone to giving New pluckers will soon prick their ire [Verse] The Guinea-fowl were just a thought Troublesome birds-of-a-feather Their misplaced gobble-gobble sought Beaks to brandish hell-for-leather [Chorus] Call 9-9-9 - Call 9-9-9 Domestic at the hen-house Eggs are flying - three-at-a-time 12-bore cocks are hunting grouse [Verse] The big foot chickens rule the roost Of strutting cocks and brooding hens Proud patrons of poor plumage spruced All ‘cluck-and-f**k’ their worldview lens [Verse] So when the fiendish fowl arrived To grab the top-rung in the shed Beyond the shit to perch contrived The non-plussed nodders wished them d**d! [Chorus] Call 9-9-9 - Call 9-9-9 Domestic at the hen-house Eggs are flying - three-at-a-time 12-bore cocks are hunting grouse [Verse] Plod rang back - for beer and fags ‘We do not get involved these days In bantam bust-ups or cracked eggs Flying feathers are mere affrays’ [Verse] Meanwhile the Guineas held the field No chicken dared to quit the coop And with a mighty screech to yield Each hen lay down to kiss the poop [Chorus] Call 9-9-9 - Call 9-9-9 Domestic at the hen-house Eggs are flying - three-at-a-time 12-bore cocks are hunting grouse [Break] [Verse] Outnumbered and outgunned were they The fowl cared not for grain nor grin Until gobsmacked some eggs did lay Now viewed the coop as home within [Verse] But bullies rarely change their spots The chickens rallied to raise hell Bombarding fowl with putrid pots To see them scuttle off - pell-mell [Chorus] Call 9-9-9 - Call 9-9-9 Domestic at the hen-house Eggs are flying - three-at-a-time 12-bore cocks are hunting grouse [Chorus] Call 9-9-9 - Call 9-9-9 Domestic at the hen-house Eggs are flying - three-at-a-time 12-bore cocks are hunting grouse [Outro]
