Bird Song lyrics

Well, I didn’t tell anyone, but a bird flew by.

Saw what I’d 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 neighbours 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 no, 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 din 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 in 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,

Couldn’t scream and I couldn’t shout.

I opened my mouth to scream and shout,

Waved my arms and flapped about,

But I couldn’t scream 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.
