about

This one is about Josh and Bryana's backyard chickens. Some of these ladies are no longer with us (RIP) but we do plan to get more in the future. Maybe that means a sequel is coming?

lyrics

A grey day is just a fine day here at the top of Highland Park
I'll sit here with my guitar and i'll write a song called McKinley Farm
We got Mary Poopin's and Yolko Ono the McKinley OG's
We had Henifer Lopez for almost a year but now she rests in peace

But since then we got a few here I'll introduce you one by one
We got Ruth Bader Hensburg one of our hamburgs
And she's a whole lot of fun
We got Marfa Bocknett one of the sweetest hens you will ever see
When we got her as a chick we had no idea
She was such a mystery

Then there's Obi Wan Henobi who's a tattle telling home bee
Yeah we think she's got the force
Yeah she looks at me cockeyed maybe she's a jedi
Plotting out her course

Then there's Oprah Henfree who's full and fluffy
Just as cool as any cat
She's got soft warm feathers that cling together
Giving her a pair of pretty pants

Now I can't forget one of my favorites
Repeckah is one of a kind
She will fly up and over the fence into the fig tree
And onto my shoulder some of the time

Oh Goldie Hen, Goldie Hen
Sweet laser-beaked our Goldie Hen
Holds a whole sunrise within that grin
Our sweet Goldie Hen

Then last but not least there's the ever elusive Amelia Egghart
She's a bearded beauty and I dare ya to catch her
But you won't get very far nope

Oh I almost forgot we once had a rooster
We thought he was a hen so we named her Susan
Susan Beak Anthony cock a doodle dood
So we changed his name to a Boy Named Sue yep

They love to eat and then poop and pee
Then they dig for worms at the base of trees
Then our Lula pup gets all the "treats"
And comes to give us a kiss

Now I'd be remise if I didn't mention
There's a few more furry additions
We got 4 cats, a dog, and a fish, inside a tank yep

A grey day is just a fine day here at the top of Highland Park
And this song came together like birds of a feather
Here on McKinley Farm

Yosh & Yimmy Three Rivers, Texas

Two independent Texas songwriters, Josh Glenn (San Antionio) and Jimmy Willden (Corpus Christi) teamed up in the Spring of 2016 and began playing shows together. Shortly thereafter they started writing music and agreed to focus their attention on the very heart of folk music: thoughtful lyrics, harmonizing vocals, and bushy beards. Their debut EP, "Americana Summer" is out now on all platforms. ... more
