D-DU-UDU
Eligible, not too stupid,
intelligible and cute as Cupid,
knowledgeable, but not always right,
salvageable and free for the night.
Well my heart's running round
like a chicken with its head cut off,
all around the barnyard
falling in and out of love.
The poor thing's blind as a bat
getting up, falling down, getting up.
Who'd fall in love with a chicken
with its head cut off?
(Whoa, Nellie)
My wife doesn't understand me.
Many dozens hope to land me.
I'm for free love, and I'm in free fall.
This could be love or nothing at all.
Well my heart's running round
like a chicken with its head cut off,
all around the barnyard
falling in and out of love.
The poor thing's blind as a bat
getting up, falling down, getting up.
Who'd fall in love with a chicken
with its head cut off?
We don't have to be stars
exploding in the night
or electric eels under the covers.
We don't have to be
anything quite so unreal
Let's just be lovers.
Well my heart's running round
like a chicken with its head cut off,
all around the barnyard
falling in and out of love.
The poor thing's blind as a bat
getting up, falling down, getting up.
Who'd fall in love with a chicken
with its head cut off?
(It ain't pretty)
