The Chicken In Black

For two long years my head hurt bad So the doctor checked me and he shook his head He said I'm sorry to tell you put your body's out lived your brain He said I know this doctor in New York son And he'll fix you right up with a brand new one So the head doctor met me when I stepped down off the train. He said we had this bank robber killed last night His body's shot but his brain's alright I'll give you a transplant boy and you'll be okay. I got my new brain in and I was feelin' great I went right back to Nashville with no head ache But somethin' strange happened when I walked in the bank one day. Chorus: I said stick 'em up everybody I'm robbin' this place Drop all of your money in my guitar case Don't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door A lady said why you're Johnny Cash I said no ma'am, I'm The Manhatton Flash And I am the best bank robber, in New York. Now the other night Roy Acuff called me He said John I'd like you to do the Orpy So I went out on the stage, but I couldn't sing I got into half a verse of I Walk The Line And somethin' snapped in this head of mine I yelled stick 'em up, give me your money your watches and your rings. Well I called New York and talked to that brain quack I said doc I got to have my old brain back He said I'm sorry there Mr. Cash but I can't do that. He said I put your brain in a chicken last Monday He's singin' your songs and makin' lots of money And I got him signed to a ten year recordin' contract. Now friends if you see me walkin' down the street Remember what you see ain't necessarly me And if I try to hold you up, don't pay me no mind. But when you got ten bucks that you can blow You oughta catch that Johnny Chicken Show He's doin' fairs and concert dates all up and down the line. Chorus2: I said stick 'em up everybody I'm robbin' this place Drop all of your money in my guitar case Don't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door A lady said why you're Johnny Cash I said no ma'am, I'm The Manhattan Flash And I am the best bank robber, in New York. Well it don't pay any income tax You don't pay tax on money you steal You oughta catch that Johnny Chicken Show Chicken In Black. ?'s [email protected]
