Pretty Bird
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.
I was striking suave, ambitious
Feet to beak, so birdlicious
Now I'm vile, I am villain, I'm vicious, oh and malicious
I had it all, a TV show, women too
I was so tall, over 1'2"
Then the got a pretty parakeet to fill my shoes
That's why I am so evil why I do what I do
He was superstar
So young and vital
He nasty
A South-American Idol
He's a suspicious bird
Who said that about me
A very vicious bird
I'll have you rotisseried
I was the king of tele novellas
The envy of all the other fellows
Then I was pushed out for a pretty pally parquet from Paraguay they called Patricious
Common Paraguayan name
He's a nasty bird
I'm insidious
He's nasty
Oh I'm hideous
He was real Macaw
I'm a cockatoo
An obscene bird
Yeah that bit is true
I'm a feathery freak
With a beak
A bird murderer
You think you're better than me
I never heard of ya
I'm evil
I fill your cheese ball with weavils
I poop on people
And I blame it on seagulls
It was him
He's a nasty bird
I'm invincible
He's nasty
I'm unminceable
I'm unwashable
Unrinseable
Like an abandoned school
I have no principles
All of you Brazilian birds
All 18 million birds
I'll tell you what I'm going to do
I'm going to make you
Shut up now, shut up
It's just me
I will make you ugly too
Ha ha ha
Did you hear how dramatic that was
With the end
