Now though I thought chooky and me were alone, A lot of the bairnies had heard what went on; So ev'ry time I went walking outbye They'd all point their fingers and cry:- "Oh,
no, no, no, no, ernie the eagle! No, no, no, no my wee chicken, I don't want to go to Idaho, I'd rather stay here in Kirkcaldy.

Well, she got her own way and we're still here in Fife, But now seven little ernies have entered our life; And never a one in its cradle would lie Till their Mother sang this lullaby:- "Oh,
no, no, no, no, ernie the eagle! No, no, no, no my wee chicken, I don't want to go to Idaho, I'd rather stay here in Kirkcaldy.

And, though we've been happy, if I had my way We'd still emigrate to the U.S.A. But if ever I talk about old Idaho, Eight chooks voices in chorus sing would go , "NO!" "Oh
no, no, no, no, ernie the eagle! No, no, no, no my wee chicken, I don't want to go to Idaho, I'd rather stay here in Kirkcaldy.

Brilliant Colorado, I wonder if the DJ could get some kind of jazzed up version of that made up for match nights, it's just what we need to put the fun back into Saturday

ha ha ha ha aye brilliant we need a bit fun and feel good factor on match nights, might also help the guys out as they must be dreading coming out to find us all sitting there going what c*** we getting served up this week, least if we are happy and having a good time it might filter on to them and they might actually relax and play hockey

Instead of a jazzed up version though I'd like to see Colorado Flyer introduced onto the ice on a red carpet with his tux on and to sing it for us live! Gives us that NHL game feel and definitely a good alternative to Flower of Scotland! If anything can get the barn rocking again it's this! lets get this trending >>>>>>>>>> #wewantcoloradoflyersingingflyersnewanthem

I’m sure the players would love this and it would give Colorado a chance to get his kilt looked out! #wewantcoloradoflyersingingflyersnewanthem

I'm ernie the eagle, my home was in Fife, But I wanted to make a new start to my life, I was ready to fly to the U. S. A. But a certain wee chicken would say:- "Oh, Chorus:- no, no, no, no, ernie the eagle! No, no, no, no my wee chicken, I don't want to go to Idaho, I'd rather stay here in Kirkcaldy. This is absolute genius. #Genius Did you really write this Colarado or did you channel the spirit of John Lennon? This needs to be the clubs Christmas single. #Christmas Only one wee issue, and I don't want to nitpick, but chicken and Kirkcaldy don't rhyme. Let's get it trending #wewantcoloradoflyersingingflyersnewanthem

Let's get it trending #wewantcoloradoflyersingingflyersnewanthem I think you do Colorado Flyer a disservice comparing his works to that of John Lennon to be honest. This chicken song alone puts him well above Lennon in the pecking order IMO. It's more poultry, sorry...POETRY than anything else- you're obviously missing the subtle nuances by poking fun at the lack of rhyme and to me you're just winging it with your criticism. I see it as a coup for the forum that the lyrics were revealed on here first to be honest. Nothing though should detract from the fact that #wewantcoloradoflyersingingflyersnewanthem

I think Finchy mistook my constructive criticism for negativity. My fear is that given that the inner circle @ Rosslyn Towers look on this forum as a coop of naysayers and negativity anyway. Given the potential for success of this new song I just want to make sure it is incubated and perfected (but not over boiled) so that on release it is perfect and they can't shoot it down before it takes flight. That would really put the fox in the hen house wouldn't it.
