Chicken Shack Boogie Lyrics & Chords By Amos Milburn

version one

Hello cat I just got back
I'm looking for that place they call the Chicken Shack
They say it's fine as wine
And it's really all a ball
No windows no doors
It's just a hole in the wall

Did you say it was located down by the creek
Where you can get a whole gob of good things to eat
All good portions of chicken once more is a cinch
You can even get the last part that went over the fence

They say it's the place where all the bad cats meet
You'd better be mighty careful where you take a seat

There's a place where the lights coming through the wall
You'd better be mighty careful, let's have a ball
Come on all you cats and take a drink from my pack
Cause the party's ready to start down at the chicken shack

version two
Hello everybody this cat is back,
Looking for a place called the Chicken Shack
They only serve warm beer rice and beans
But it feels just like it's down in New Orleans
Brace yourself baby I'm here to attack
Down at the place called the Chicken Schack

The girls at that place are mighty fine
But stay off sadie green cause that girl is mine
The moonlight shines through the holes in the wall
Everybody there is having a ball
They don't care that the place looks like a wreck
Down at the place called the Chicken Shack

I wanna rip it, rock it, really bop it
Flip it, flop it, David Crocket
Just like Roy Montrell everytime he hears that mellow saxophone
The good old rockin' days will never come back
Except down at the place called the Chicken Shack

The good old rockin days will never come back
Except down at the place called the Chicken Shack
