(Originally Alley Oop- The Hollywood Argyles- Composed By Dallas Frazier)

Chicken soup-oup, oup, oup-oup,
Chicken soup-oup, oup, oup-oup.

Oh, there’s a food that every Jewish mother knows (Chicken soup-oup, oup, oup-oup)
It’ll cure every crank from your head to your toes (Chicken soup-oup, oup, oup-oup)
Some people put in lukshin, some put nothing at all (Chicken soup-oup, oup, oup-oup)
And some people like it with a Matzah ball (Chicken soup-oup, oup, oup-oup).

(Chicken Soup) Everybody eats it Friday night
(Chicken soup) At the chicken farm, they’re in a fright
(Chicken soup) All the chickens running left and right
Look at those chickens go! (Bawk bawk…)
——————————————————————————————————————————
Chicken soup-oup, oup, oup-oup.

Oh, you can smell that brew boiling 20 miles, some say (Chicken soup-oup, oup, oup-oup)
And I’ve heard that the scent keeps mosquitoes away (Chicken soup-oup, oup, oup-oup)
Oh, it has supernatural powers, or so it is written (Chicken soup-oup, oup, oup-oup)
It turns wolves into puppies, and tigers to kittens (Chicken soup-oup, oup, oup-oup).

(Chicken Soup) Everybody eats it Friday night
(Chicken soup) At the chicken farm, they’re in a fright
(Chicken soup) All the chickens running left and right
By Joe, look at those chickens go! (Bawk bawk…)
