Imagine all the chickens; Crossing the road today...


Written in response to the following line (JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.) I read in an email from my mother about why the chicken crossed the road received on June 25, 2008 at 1:30pm.  Minutes later my brain was demanding I write these lyrics. 

Imagine all the chickens;
Crossing the road today...

Imagine there's no country gravies
It is so hard to do
No Pot Pies to die for
And no Coronel too
Imagine all the chickens
Crossing the road in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only chick
I hope someday you'll join us
And the chickens will be as one

Imagine no food processors
I wonder if you can
No need for fear of hunger
A chickenhood of chickens a like
Imagine all the chickens
Sharing the road in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only chick
I hope someday you'll join us
And the chickens will be as one
