“Chickens for Christmas“ is the Xmas side of The Ubangis amazing holiday 7“ single from 1993 on DeCeased / Brutarian Records split label. The b-side is “(She-s A) Yamakah Mama (At Hanukkah Time)“. “Chickens...“ also appeared on a local Xmas CD comp called “It’s A Rockin’ Christmas“ on the Run Wild Records label.
Appearing on this Rockabilly track are Brian Horrorwitz on lead vocals and drums and “Saucy“ Randy Manos on guitars, bass and backup vocals. (UMF had yet to join the band but came along soon sfter.) The single was recorded in 1 take on 1/4 inch reel-to-reel tape by Carl Merson at his Beware Of Dog studios in Silver Spring, Maryland. Yes, 1/4 inch reel-to-reel! This is what all Rockabilly should sound like you twerps! Look, even the chicken liked it! Ah... whaddoiknow...
The dancing chicken footage was “borrowed“ from the Werner Herzog movie “Stroszek“. And, just for the record, it’s “I ain’t CLUCKIN’ around!“.
And now, the lyrics:
Well I gotta drop that old Kris Kringle a line
My heart’s all a-tingle, got a Christmas wish so fine
It’s kind of fowl but with a little luck
He’ll bring me some brand new friends who go cluck
Come on Santa Claus
I’m asking ya please....
Give me chickens for Christmas
You know I’m gonna love each hen that old Saint Nick sends
I won’t eat none of them, not my fine feathered friends
I’ll love them so, this is my Christmas wish
I promise Santa they won’t end up on a dish
Come on Santa Claus
All I’m askin’ is please...
Give me some chickens for Christmas
AAAAW, YEAH!!
(I ain’t cluckin’ around! etc.)
And when we’re out caroling together
In that snowy weather
I’ll make each one a Christmas sweater
So they don’t get snow on their feathers
Come on Santa Claus
I’m beggin’ ya, please...
Send me chickens for Christmas
On Christmas Day we’ll have a Jingle Bell wing-ding sing-a-long
Drinkin’ egg nog a-pluckin’ and a-cluckin’ to a Christmas song
They’ll be happy as can be
And on New Year’s Eve I’m gonna set ’em free
Oh, please, Santa Claus
Won’t you hear my plea
And give me chickens for Christmas (x3)
