Lil' Red & the Rooster - Chicken Scratch

Well Howlin’ Wolf was howlin’ from an old beat up car.
When I saw a French rooster scratchin’ on his guitar.
He said, “Hey Lil’ Red, I’m gonna show you a star.”

He said, “Hey Lil’ Red, come and sit with me.
They tell me that you come from across the sea.
And I sure would be delighted if you scratched with me.”

And we scratched. Scratch scratch.
Yea, we scratched. Do the Chicken scratch.
'Cause when the itch is overwhelming, you’ve gotta scratch. Scratch it!

This little French Rooster wrapped me up in his smile.
As he whispered through his amp, oh, all set to beguile.
He said, I'll show you how to scratch chicken style.""

He said, “Hey Lil’ Red, I’m ready to go!
I’ve got an itch in my tail feather and I’m ready to crow!
I hear they play the Blues in Columbus, Ohio.""

Let’s go and scratch. Scratch scratch.
Time to scratch. Do the Chicken scratch.
'Cause when the itch is overwhelming baby, you’ve gotta scratch. Scratch it!

When the itch is overwhelming baby, you’ve gotta scratch.
When the itch is overwhelming baby, well you’ve gotta scratch.
And when the itch is overwhelming baby, you’ve gotta scratch.
