lyrics

Chicken and the egg

Waitress please hit me with another
And yes I’ll take piece of that there pie
And if you could just walk me through the specials
Then I’ll have me a big old breakfast fry

My doggy’s waiting patient by the back porch
My kitty’s roaming somewhere round the town
And you should see the horse I just rode in on
This old bird I call him Buster Brown

If you’re presenting me with options
Puttin’ ideas in my head
Looks like they’re all ripe for the pickin’
I’ll take the chicken and the egg

I ain’t saying don’t offer me choices
I’m just saying please don’t make me choose
Seems I’ve got a penchant for the picking
You know that I wasn’t born to lose

‘Cos I got me a pocket full of aces
And you know I’ve got diamonds up my sleeve
I won’t tell you where I’m hidin’ my heart
‘Cos this here’s a club you never want to leave

If you’re presenting me with options
Puttin’ ideas in my head
Looks like they’re all ripe for the pickin’
I’ll take the chicken and the egg

If you’re presenting me with options
Puttin’ ideas in my head
Looks like they’re all ripe for the pickin’
I’ll take the chicken and the egg

I’ll take the chicken and the egg
I’ll take the chicken and the egg
I’ll take the chicken and the egg
I’ll take it

"The songs are rich with meaning and truth…real and raw, just as true country music should be”.
Samuel J. Fell. Rhythms Magazine

Mastwyk plunges headlong into Seventies country-soul glam with lashings of cosmic American pedal steel and psych-guitar glitz.
Country Update

“Mastwyk conjures up the spirits of Conway Twitty and George Jones through well told stories of the heart.”
