Tennessee Bird Talk
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The birds all had a party at the stork club on Chaparell Street
A robin named Martin was singing like a bluebird in a tree
Ole Jaybird and Bobwhite were ravenin' bout some starling at the bar
When in walked a penguin he was puffin' on a White Owl cigar
(Cool man cool)
So they had a couple of Swallows and this Thrush started actin' like a Loon
You see the girl was still a minor but she was makin' Coo-Coo eyes at some ole Goon
Some long-legged Pelican took a turn for the dove
Said I'll be hogtied I reckon we're in love
Now they fly United throughout the skies above that Tennessee bird talk
Hey some vulture just knocked a Peacock off his stool with a Whipperwill
Dern near killed him
Better send the Roadrunner to get the Sturgeon
(Beep Beep)
Some yellowbellied sap sucker filled the birdie bath with mountain dew
(Chickacher) Them dirty little birds all got flyin' high and cock-a-doodle doo
The Bob-a-Link was bobbin' tryin' hard to duck the cockatoo
The Crane started whoopin' when the Bird of Paradise flew up his snoot
The Nuthatch got nutty and he thought he was a love bird on a limb
The Humming Bird was hummin' and the Mockingbird was imitatin' him
(Hummmmm) The Finch and the Pheasant did the Flamingo in the dark
The Stool Pigeon told the Parrott they were headed for the park
The Nightingale was singin' said she did it for a Lark
That's Tennessee bird talk
Oooh just take a gander at that little chickadee that's sauce for the goose
You don't have to be such a Grouse about it
(Beep Beep) go go
I wonder if a Woodpecker would
Come on don't chicken out on me
