Lyrics
The more you want the less you give
The more you desire, the less you are willing to give
Work on your dreams for them to be true
Invest effort in pursuing your dreams for them to become a reality
You have to take people for what they really are
Accept people for who they truly are
You will learn earlier in life
Life teaches you important lessons at an early stage
I will teach you to call a spade a spade
Encouragement to be straightforward and honest
And i will teach you to call a rock a rock
Encouragement to identify things as they are
And a chicken is a chicken
Emphasizing the straightforwardness of calling a chicken a chicken
And a chicken a chicken is a chicken
Repetition emphasizing the clarity in distinguishing between a chicken and a lady
A chicken is a chicken
-A lady is a lady
-A lady is a lady
-I say a chicken is a chicken
-A chicken is a chicken
-A lady is a lady
-A lady is a lady
-Oh chicken chicken chicken chicken
Repetition of "Oh chicken" possibly for emphasis or as a chorus
Oh chicken chicken chicken chicken
-Oh chicken chicken chicken chicken
-Oh chicken chicken chicken chicken
-I had a girl that i loved so much
Reflection on a past love, the importance of accepting people, and early life lessons
When we kissed the whole world would kiss with us
-You have to take people for what they really are
-You will learn earlier in life
-Hey my boy the road is still long
Encouragement to persevere despite the challenges in life
Work on your manners for them to be good
-Sometimes we've got to have a little push in us
-The world is great and it can be bad
A acknowledgment of the dual nature of the world, both good and bad
I will teach you to call a spade a spade
Continued emphasis on being truthful and straightforward
And i will teach you to call a rock a rock
-And a chicken is a chicken
-And a chicken a chicken is a chicken
Repetition underlining the clarity in distinguishing between a chicken and a lady
