Well I didn't tell anyone but a bird flew by

so what I done is 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 now I couldn't get him out

so I trapped him under a cardboard box

stood on it to make it stop

I picked up the bird and above the din

I said that's the last time you'll ever sing

Held him down, broke his neck

taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget

But in my dreams began to hear

the old familiar

tweet tweet tweet

I opened my mouth to scream and shout

and 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

and 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 (repeat 15 times)
