Dr. Saghir sent me this song from Syria. It's also sung in Lebanon. Sandy Tanios Jean, who's from Lebanon, was nice enough to sing it for us. You can hear it by clicking on the mp3 link below the song.

These chickens... How they are beautiful
They are walking around their mother happily
They drank water and said Wow Yum Yum
They raised their heads and thanked God happily.
