Hiccuping Chicken? What the?!?

So Killian was watching The Wiggles the other day and I paid attention for the first time to a song that has played a thousand times. The song is apparently titled "Here Come the Chicken" and the lyrics go something very close to:

Here come the chicken
(here come the chicken)
Walking down the road
Here come the chicken
(here come the chicken)
Walking down the road
That chicken's got the hiccups
(that chicken's got the hiccups)
That chicken's got the hiccups
(that chicken's got the hiccups)
Won't somebody help that chicken, please!

What the...?!? Could we have a more bizarre concept? Granted, it's not rare to encounter odd lyrics in a children's song but it's just a particularly strange one to me. Then again, the show does have a pirate captain with a feather sword.

Of course, i have heard it! I can't believe you are not "Up" on the music from the not at all irritating show. :)

Oh, I'm up on it. I just don't typically pay close enough attention to the lyrics apparently.
