That Chick's Too Young To Fry - Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five

Say boy, don’t you harm that bird

Don’t you dare to try

Start releasin' the chicken or you’ll get a lickin'

That chick’s too young to fry

Hey boy, better take my word

Here’s the reason why

Gotta feed her steady 'til she gets ready

That chick’s too young to fry

Take her back in the barnyard

Then let her go, just turn her loose

Way out ther in the barnyard

Where she’ll grow up for better use

Hey boy, there will come a time

Someday by and by

She’ll be ready for fryin', so stop your cryin'

That chick’s too young to fry

Take her back in the barnyard

Then let her go, just turn her loose

Way out ther in the barnyard

Where she’ll grow up for better use

Hey boy, there will come a time

Someday by and by

She’ll be ready for fryin', so stop your cryin'

That chick’s too young to fry

Get away, stay away, come back another day

That chick’s too young to fry
