HOW TO GET A BREAKFAST

First Chick. It is so hard to scratch;
I’m as hungry as can be,
I wish a little worm
Would come close up to me.

Second Chick. It is so hard to scratch;
I’m as hungry as can be,
I wish a bowl of meal
Were standing here by me.

Third Chick. It is so hard to scratch;
I’m as hungry as can be,
I wish a nice green leaf
Would drop right down to me.

Mother Hen. See here, you lazy chicks,
Here’s the green garden patch,
If you’re hungry as can be,
You should come here and scratch!
