Florence Bird Song song lyrics

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 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

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
