Lyrics for Flamingo Baby
Yeah, you're a flamingo You stand on one leg Yeah, you're a flamingo, baby You hatched from an egg Well, you hold your foot up So delicately over the sea And when it come down It comes down on me Well, it used to want to hump you I used to want to rock and roll I was attracted to your gracefulness But your surprise sure took its toll Now I guess I'd better go on out now Gonna try to find something new And all I'm left with is this craving for some flamingo stew Now the beauty's in the gutter The loveliness is off her throne In the eyes of the beholder, it's gone And now he feels kind of alone Now this feeling, it's the kind, it's one that will shortly pass I'm gonna find myself another bird And roll on down the grass Yeah, you're a flamingo You stand on one leg Get up, get up, get up Yeah, you're a flamingo baby, cool You hatched from an egg Well, you hold your foot up So delicately over the sea And when it comes down It comes down on me
