[G] Hey little hen [C] when, when, [Am] when
Will you [D7] lay me an egg for my [G] tea (cock-a-doodle-doo)
{eos}
[G] I had a lot of chickens, a [D] large chicken [D7] run
But owing to conditions, I'm [G] now down to [D] one
I [G] give her all the tit-bits the [D] dear little thing
And [A7] just to keep her [D] up to [B7] scratch
I [Em] go to [D] her and [D] sing. [D]*
[G] Hey little hen [C] when, when, [Am] when
Will you [D7] lay me an egg for my [G] tea
[G] Hey little hen [C] when, when, [Am] when
Will you [D7] try to supply one for [G] me
[G7] Get into your nest
[C] Do your little best
[E7] Get it [A7] off your chest
[D7] I can do the rest
[G] Hey little hen [C] when, when, [Am] when
Will you [D7] lay me an egg for my [G] tea

[G] I tell her that the butcher has [D] no meat to-[D7]day
I tell her that the fishes have [G] all [A7] swam a-[D]way
I [G] tell her I feel hungry and [D] weak in the legs
And [G] beg of her sin-[E7]cerely to get [A7] busy with the [D7] eggs.
[G] Hey little hen [C] when, when, [Am] when
Will you [D7] lay me an egg for my [G] tea
[G] Hey little hen [C] when, when, [Am] when
Will you [D7] try to supply one for [G] me
[G7] Get into your nest
[C] Do your little best
[E7] Get it [A7] off your chest
[D7] I can do the rest
[G] Hey little hen [C] when, when, [Am] when
Will you [D7] lay me an egg for my [G] tea
