Chicken Joe by Trout Fishing In America Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got a cat named Chicken Joe
Sleeps with the chickens when the weather gets cold
Stays warm in the hen house all night long
'till the rooster crows at the break of dawn
But he's no chicken, he's just a cat
A cat named Chicken Joe

[Verse 2]
I know a little dog named Miss Kitty
She's a little dog livin' in a great big city
Don't want a fish, just want a bone
Call "Here Kitty, Kitty" and she'll come back home
But she's no kitty, she's just a little dog
A little dog named Miss Kitty

[Bridge]
What's in a name?
Call it what you will but it still won't change
Call it anything you want but it's still the same
Oh no, what's in a name?
[Verse 3]
I heard about a parakeet named King Kong
Tweeting and chirping all day long
Gets mad enough to knock down a house in a rage
It's a good thing he can't get out of that cage
He's no gorilla, he's just a little bird
A parakeet named King Kong

[Verse 4]
Fred's got a mule and he calls him Mister
I'd rather kiss that mule than kiss my sister
Strong and steady through rock and snow
He'll get you where you want to go
He's not a man, he's just a mile
She's no kitty, she's just a little dog
He's no chicken, he's just a cat
A cat named Chicken Joe
