My Dear Abraham

My dear Abraham, why don't you eat your chicken right?
Because the stars are shining so bright,
Because the moon has rolled into the night,
Because the Jews and Arabs ceased to fight,
So, dear Abraham, why don't you eat your chicken right?

Why don't you go to the Holy Tree?
Why don't you graduate and get a PhD?
My dear Abraham, why don't you eat your chicken right?
