baby wants his chicken fried
i'll make it just the way he likes
cause my baby's alright
he's alright

baby likes to take a nap
in the middle of the afternoon
well i'll tuck him in on any day
cause my baby's ok
he's ok

and i say, ooh honey
you're the one i really love
and when i'm fast asleep
you're the one i dream of

baby tells me when i'm bad
he knows how to keep me in line
oh my baby's fine
he's fine

sometimes ya know he plays the clown
to keep the blues from
pullin me down
when i need him
he's always around
always around

and i say, ooh honey
you're the one i really love
and when i'm fast asleep
you're the one i dream of

so if baby wants his chicken fried
i'll make it just the way he likes
cause my baby's alright
he's alright
