When you find youself in danger, When you're threatened by a stranger, When it looks like you will take a lickin', (puk, puk, puk) There is someone waiting, Who will hurry up and rescue you, Just Call for Super Chicken! (puk ack!) Fred, if you're afraid you'll have to overlook it, Besides you knew the job was dangerous when you took it (puk ack!) He will drink his super sauce And throw the bad guys for a loss And he will bring them in alive and kickin' (puk, puk, puk) There is one thing you should learn When there is no one else to turn to Call for Super Chicken! (puk, puk, puk) Call for Super Chicken! (puk ack!)

Cartoons like these (grew up watching Tom and Jerry, Rocky and Bullwinkle, The Inspector, Pink Panther) was why TV was awesome back then.

You know how cartoons are sprinkled with little adult-oriented jokes that kids don't get but adults do? I just today got one about Super Chicken! You know the "Super Sauce" and how it doesn't really seem to do anything? I just figured out what it is! It's not a "super" sauce at all -- it's just the sauce! Super Chicken knocks back a good, stiff drink before going out to fight crime! I think I remember my father howling in laughter at my dogged insistence that there was no humorous significance to the fact that the "Super Sauce" was usually shown being drunk from a martini glass!🍸😎😆
