The Chicken Song

I'm still trying to find Yiddish text of this but here are some websites.

Here's the song written by Rubin Doctor sung in 1922 by Anna Hoffman1. Sung in Yiddish,words not too clear.

Sung in Yiddish and has transliterated text running along. And at the end there are links to several other Yiddish songs!

This is the text about the Chicken Song from the above website.

"This is one of Rubin Doctor's most famous songs. It was also sung by Nellie Casman back in the day. Anna sang a third verse which I omitted here as it does not appear on the lyrics as Rubin submitted them to the copyright office. I've provided the lyrics as he typed them up himself so you can see a transliteration system that differs from the YIVO standard. For more see http://yiddishpennysongs.com"
