Lyrics
ALL AROUND THE KITCHEN
(Chorus)
All around the kitchen, Cock-a-doodle, doodle, doo
All around the kitchen, Cock-a-doodle, doodle, doo
(Repeat)
1. First you stand right still [Cock-a-doodle, doodle, doo!]
Put your hands on your knees [Cock-a-doodle, doodle, doo!]
Scratch yourself like you have fleas [Cock-a-doodle, doodle,
doo!]
Have a great big sneeze {Achoo!} (Chorus)
2. First you stand right still [Cock-a-doodle, doodle, doo!]
Put your hands on your hips [Cock-a-doodle, doodle, doo!]
Then you stick out your lips [Cock-a-doodle, doodle, doo!]
And let your right foot slip {Whoa!} (Chorus)
[Instrumental... ?Move that chicken!?]
3. First you stand right still [Cock-a-doodle, doodle, doo!]
Put your hands on your belly [Cock-a-doodle, doodle, doo!]
Make a peanut butter, jelly
Peanut butter... jelly... Put?em together... (Chorus)
[Instrumental... ?Dance that chicken... cluck, cluck!?]
