Rotisserie Darling

introHe was a famous rotisserie chicken from the market down on Main
And every hungry customer said that bird was hard to tame
He was the top attraction at the market every day
But then he started spinning and he stole my heart away

verseHe wore a coat of paprika and a little garlic glaze
And every time he turned around I stared in smoky haze
All the women in the checkout line agreed he was a sight to see
But when he spun beneath the warming lamp I knew we were meant to be

chorusOh my rotisserie darling in the basket turning slow
The way you drip those juices sets my little heart aglow
He was my boogie-woogie chicken king beneath the warming light
And when he started spinning I was dizzy day and night

verseToot-toot-toot went the timer and the butcher rang the bell
Everybody crowded round, drawn by that rosemary smell
He did a little sizzle and a crackle in the heat
And every single swivel made me weak around the meat

bridgeHe'd spin
(Spin!)
He'd sway
(Sway!)
All the shoppers heard me say
"Ooooooh, what a bird!"
Then the butcher rolled his eyes
And the manager looked nervous
Security was watching
As I demanded chicken service

chorusOh my rotisserie darling in the basket turning slow
The way you drip those juices sets my little heart aglow
He was my boogie-woogie chicken king, the wonder of the store
And when they sold him to somebody else I nearly hit the floor

outroNow every Friday evening I return and hope once more
To meet another spinning bird I cannot help adore
The butcher knows my order before I reach the door
"One chicken?"
"You know why."
Then I faint onto the floor
