16 years ago, one day
I was walking down the street
I was cruising in Brooklyn
You know what I mean?
Something was cooking
but wasn't yet a chicken

There was a man
Selling chicks in a box
He said, "2 for 1, but 3 for 2."
I said, "That's not bad
Here's money for you."
One was magenta
The other was blue

I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken

One day, the blue one went away
The other grew up fuckin' well
She was noisy every night
I had always chicken-bite

Then I met a lover
One night, she made me dinner
Licking finger, I wondered
Where she got the chicken
Then I met a lover
One night, she made me dinner
Licking finger, I wondered
where she got the chicken

Refrain:
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken

Spare the rod and spoil the chick
Before you go and shit a brick
Spare the rod and spoil the chick
Before you go and shit a brick
Spare the rod and spoil the chick
Before you go and shit a brick
Spare the rod and spoil the chick
Before you go and shit a brick

Refrain

She went to college to study anatomy
I followed her father's butchery
We got 2 babies. Is it cool?
One was magenta, the other was blue

I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
