"Wishbone" lyrics

There's a crazy superstition
It's got to do with chicken
And a thing they call the wishbone
You learn it from your mother
You pull it with your lover
And try to get the piece that's long
Well, you reach under the table
As far as you're able
And tell your little fingers be strong
Be careful how you take it
'Cause it's the way you break it
That gets you what you're wishing on

Wishbone, Wishbone
I got a wish to make, one pull is all it takes
And I need a lucky break
So come on, Wishbone

Old Reverend Hopper had a lovely daughter
One night they came over at last, man
She was a winner when we down for dinner
I was eating that chicken up fast
Well, I was digging in before he said Amen
You couldn't tell that hen had flown
Mama caught one to me
She said, "why don't you and Lucy"
Go on and pull a Wishbone?"

Wishbone, Wishbone
I got a wish to make, one pull is all it takes
And I need a lucky break
So come on, Wishbone

Lucy got the piece and I got long
But we both got what we were wishing on

Wishbone, Wishbone
I got a wish to make
One pull is all it takes
And I need a lucky break
So come on, Wishbone

Oh, Wishbone, Wishbone
I got a wish to make
One pull is all it takes
And I need a lucky break
So come on, Wishbone

Come on, baby
