Hey Little Hen

Hey! Little hen! When, when, when will you lay me an egg for my tea?
Hey! Little hen! When, when, when will you try to supply one for me?
Get into your nest, do your little best. Get it off your chest. I can do the rest.
Hey! Little hen! When, when, when, will you lay me an egg for my tea?




Thank you Bertha and now ...Betty!!!!!!

chicken????

[MaureenHall]

Perhaps Lynda could modify it a bit and sing it to her eggs

Hey! Little chick! Quick, quick, quick will you break your shell for me?
Hey! Little chick! Quick, quick, quick will you try to arrive by tea?
Come into your nest, do your little best. Get it off your chest. I will do the rest.
Hey! Little chick! Quick, quick, quick, will you break your shell for me?

nah, if i start singing they'll never come out

[Bephlam]

I'm going to sing that to my girls twice daily from now on - I'm desperate for an egg!!!!

[BrideXIII]

oooh thats not the version i know, when we were kids we used to sing to ours every day when we fed them.

Chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken, lay a little egg for me
Chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken, I want one for my tea
Oh, I haven't had an egg since Breakfast, and now it's half past three
So, chick, chick, chick, chicken, lay a little egg for me

Now Rip Van Winkle woke up after twenty years or more
He found a bird's nest in his beard and shouted out, "Oh, Lor'!"

Chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken, lay a little egg for me
Chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken, I want one for my tea
Oh, I haven't had an egg since breakfast, and now it's half past three
So, chick, chick, chick, chicken, lay a little egg for me

[HayleyB]

chicken????

ROFLMAO

Hey Nicos that was a bit risky they could have taken a dislike to your singing and left home in disgust, no way will I subject my girls to a stunt like that they'd fall of their roosts laughing their heads off

[Nicos]

Twas my singing what caused them to drop their eggs in panic!!
Nope...my singing could strip wallpaper!...oh now- there's an idea for a living!!!!

[Bephlam]

I want an egg!!!

[HayleyB]

Awww, sorry Bephlam you can have one of mine but you'll have to collect cause post is not an option

[Nicos]

I want an egg!!!

...you asking me to sing to you then????

[Comfreyfan]

What a wonderful thought!! Stripping wallpaper is an awful job, imagine if you could just sing at it and it fell off the wall, straight into rubbish bags....sigh!
