Lyrics for Bird Song
Well, I didn't tell anyone But a bird flew by, saw what I done He set up a nest outside And he sang about what I'd become He sang so loud Sang so clear I was afraid all the neighbors would hear So I invited him in just to reason with him I promised I wouldn't do it again But he sang louder and louder inside the house And now I couldn't get him out So I trapped him under a cardboard box Stood on it to make him stop I picked up the bird, and above the den I said, "That's the last song you'll ever sing" Held him down Broke his neck Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget But then my dreams Began to creep That old familiar Tweet, tweet, tweet I opened my mouth to scream and shout I waved my arms and flapped about But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout I opened my mouth to scream and shout I waved my arms and flapped about But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout The song was coming from my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth
