From the barnyard to the launchpad From the chicken coup to the moon Though I'm just a cluck, maybe with some luck I will fly away soon From a little egg to the big dipper From chicken feed to space food Though I'm just a cluck, maybe with some luck I will fly to the moon From the cow who sat on my mother To the cow who jumped over the moon I want to be there in the atmosphere I have no fear, send me to Mir From these heavy legs to sweet weightlessness From these useless wings to the speed of sound Though I'm just a cluck, maybe with some luck I'll be heaven bound From the chopping block to a medal around my neck From conveyor belts to Van Allen From the crowded cage to endless space I'll spend my days "He's crazy, so absurd He can't fly, he's just a bird"
