Eligible, not too stupid Intelligable and cute as Cupid Knowledgable but not always right Salvageable and free for the night Well, my heart's running 'round like a chicken with its head cut off All around the barnyard, falling in and out of love Poor thing's blind as a bat, getting up, falling down, getting up Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off? Woah, nelly! My wife doesn't understand me Many dozens hope to land me I'm for free love and I'm in free fall This could be love or nothing at all But my heart's running 'round like a chicken with its head cut off
All around the barnyard, falling in and out of love The poor thing's blind as a bat, getting up, falling down, getting up Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off? We don't have to be stars exploding in the night, or electric eels under the covers We don't have to be anything quite so unreal, let's just be lovers Well, my heart's running 'round like a chicken with its head cut off All around the barnyard, falling in and out of love The poor thing's blind as a bat, getting up, falling down, getting up Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off? It ain't pretty
