Chicken Claw That Handsome Devil

One day my papa was fixin' cars
He used to tell stories and I'd listen hard
He said "I don't know much about Egyptian gods
But you can get you a wish off a chicken claw."

Well me and my mama used to sit in bars
She'd get to drunk drinks and i'd sit and watch
I seen it was missin' from the kitchen drawer
Mama got to get to wishin' on a chicken claw

Well you keep on wishin' but ya don't do nothin'
If you wanna move up then you gotta move somethin'
Move somethin'

Well you keep on talkin' but ya don't do nothin'
If you wanna move up then you gotta move somethin'
Move somethin'

Well I went out late to the chicken farm
To get me a chicken worth wishin' on
I brought it back home and I rinsed it off
Mama got to get to wishin' on the chicken claw

Now right there by the extension chord
In the cabinet in the kitchen in a mixin' jar
No one listens to you wishin' at all
But the twisted old fingers of the chicken claw
