Shows // Lyrics: The Fried Chicken Blues

Ever eat/make something really delicious that you can’t seem to finish, so you put it away and really look forward to eating it later? Only when you go to eat it, you find out that it’s already been eaten? Doesn’t that suck? Damn the kids! Damn the spouse! Damn your siblings! Damn your roommates! Jackie wrote a song about it for her show The Fried Chicken Theory According to Jackie Gordon:

The Fried Chicken Blues

Music and lyrics by Jackie Gordon

Don’t cry to me about your heartache, how your baby’s up and gone
Don’t cry to me about your heartache, how your baby’s up and gone
Cause I’ve got troubles of my own now,
I’m staring at an empty bone

I got the somebody ate my last piece of fried chicken blues
I got the somebody ate my last piece of fried chicken blues
These eyes have seen some ugly things,
But I never thought a man would be so cruel

Well I stuffed myself at dinner, couldn’t eat another bite
So I stuck in the fridge and dreamt about it through the night
Should I save it for my lunch or eat it with the morning news?
Now I got the somebody’s ate my last piece of fried chicken blues

Don’t tell me how much you miss him,
at least he might be coming back
Please don’t say how much you’re missing him,
at least he might be coming back
But my chicken ain’t returning,
From it’s one-way lonely tract

I got the somebody ate my last piece of fried chicken blues
I got the somebody ate my last piece of fried chicken blues
These eyes have seen some ugly things,
But I never thought a man would be so cruel

It was crispy golden brown; you should have seen the juices flow
And I christened every bite with just a dash of Tabasco®
I don’t like to think about it ‘cause the memory makes me drool
Lord I got the somebody’s ate my fried chicken blues

Could it have been an act of evil?
Or just a simple act of fate?
Was it an act of evil or just a simple act of fate?
What kind of person leaves a bone, lying on an empty plate?
