Tastes Like Chicken

This is a new song that I wrote for a spring songwriting challenge. The title came from Pops Bayless of the band Shorty Long (http://www.www.shortylong.com) but the rest is all mine.

Tastes Like Chicken © Hal Brolund 2011 (SOCAN)

(chorus)
D
How come everything tastes like chicken?
A7 How come everything always tastes like chicken?
D
rabbit, turtle and cane toad tastes like chicken
A7 Bm C#m G#dim
crocodile, and alligator, snake and pigeon,
E7 D7 A7
Everything (everything) tastes like chicken?

A7
It's one of life's great mysteries that no one really knows
A7 E7
a basic human question, I guess that's how it goes
A7 Bm C#m G#dim
If you took a poll and asked everyone across the nation
E7 A7
Tell me what is up with all this poultry fascination

God took seven days to make every rock and tree and shrub
he made the fish, he made the beef and other tasty grub
After 6 days of working hard did he lose his imagination?
How come lots of food tastes like chicken?

Driving through the prairies with the sun upon my back
I couldn't help but notice every town has a chicken shack
yes every town serves up something finger lickin
deep fried, I'll testify that it all tastes like chicken
