So I heard that Red robin

Hasn't been rockin'

Got caught up in the

Tick tockin'

Life

Parrots are unemployed

So I heard

And have you seen the nose job

On that bird

Speaking of noses

Toucan's has gotten out of hand

That crazy artist within I guess

I'll never understand

Swallows swallow

Anything

With the right pitch

So guess they'll be

chasing that rich

Dictation of the Wise old owl

Even if his brain weighs

a little over a couple grams

Plus I heard

His wingspan

Isn't all that

And Chickadees? please

Always complain about the bees

What a breeze it is

for them to buzz a long

Defying physics

Those pretentious...

orioles

Speaking of buzzing

Those buzzards

are such a bore

We all know

What they're really waiting for

And those big black crows

Think they're such

Hot guano

Don't they know

That the goth emo

Look went out

Ages ago

And nobody has got time for

That pretty little raven

So mysterious and jazz oriented

But I heard she's a really a snore

Kind of crazy

Just repeating

Nevermore, nevermore

And I heard Jay Blue

Is medicating for depression

And Mockingbird

Is an identity crisis

Waiting to happen

Freedom of speech

Never told us

When to stop yappin'

So I guess we'll keep flappin'
