Kill a chicken, get it with a spike
You can cook it any way you like
Tell me now if you?d like a taste
On this old rooster nothing goes to waste
Wishbone, wish for anything you want
That old wishbone, gives you anything you want
I?ll take the wings and you can have the breast
Never mind the feathers, think about the rest
We don?t want the head, we can cut off the feet
Choke it by the neck and cut up the meat
Wishbone, wish for anything you want

Ride out her open road
Fell to the waste side
Dinned on her dirt soul
Ain't willing to pass it by
Went down by the loads
Told time by the moon and sun
Hide'n out in my abode
Said i'm the only one
I'm doin it cause i like it
Wishbone
Out of my way to find it
Wishbone
Smoke rings above the flames
Bitter sweat aftermath
Dry mouth i call her name
She leads an easy path
Dark eyes and dark intentions
She'll answer every question
Tied up to have her way
This one is just for play
I'm doin it cause i like it
Whishbone
Out of my way to find it
Whishbone
Don't bother me while i'm on it
Whishbone
You fall apart without it
I wanna brake you apart

Say something smart, delivery is essential
But my tongue grew thicker before I departed
Hanging with strangers, braver than ever
Calamity took over, I crawled back in my hole
I pulled a wishbone and found a way to make her mine
I pulled a wishbone and found a way to make her mine
Pull out your hair and douse them in chemicals
Iron your clothes - presentation is principle
Soaking my heart with something on tap
and Crawled back in my hole with a heavy heart
I pulled a wishbone and found a way to make her mine
I pulled a wishbone and found a way to make her mine
I won't call her this time
I won't call her this time
I won't call her this time
waiting to dial 69
I pulled a wishbone and found a way to make her mine

Choking on a wishbone,
In the firing line of lovers,
Who will never slow down.
And I won't let you steer,
Comandere the atmosphere,
Since you suggested running away,
It's romantic.
Hit the redial,
Maybe we should sigh a while,
Save our second wind for sentimental warm weather.
Four forever,
Two together,
We'll play dead,
We'll play dead,
We'll play deadly.
Should we make believe you remember me
From a holiday delayed by a storm?
Should we chance our arms alarms
To set high noon until the shiver in the river is gone?
Hoping you might whistle,
Get all dizzy 'cause I found the reason why you're around,
If I won't stay sincere talk you through the tangles.
Can you chase me till you my feet touch the ground,
And go dancing,
Tambourin style walking in a single file,
You whisper half thoughts to me.
Should we make believe you remember me
From a holiday delayed by a storm?
Should we chance our arms alarms

For Thanksgiving we had 'tatas, succotash, and rudebagas.
Then came turkey from the oven.
Broke the wishbone. Covenants were sealed and set.
On the losing end of a wishbone and I won't pretend not to mind.
Christmas Eve we ate at Aunty's. We had some ham glazed with honey.
Rolled the Yule log on the fire. Threw the hambone to the dogs and went to
bed.
On the losing end of a wishbone and I won't pretend not to mind.

In the morning the weathercock was heard asking what we had learned of the
Earth.
"Is it a round place with deserts and oceans, housing as many winds as one
might wish?"
We were standing by the gate. He said, "Oh my, it's getting late!"
Then he took off flying to the south with a black snake in his mouth.
You can shake it, break it, or glue it whole,
but there's no two ways about it with a broke wishbone on the losing end.

For St. Patrick's we had cabbage, corn beef stew, egg salad sandwich.
Then came the whiskey from the basement.
Danced all night into the dawn, then held our heads.
On the losing end of a wishbone and I won't pretend not to mind.
