I'm gonna be a shady lady bird
|
I got an awful lot to learn
|
But if you tell me that my heart's on fire
|
I'm gonna let it burn
|
|
I'm gonna be a shockin' mockin' bird
|
I'm gonna mingle with the best
|
I'm gonna try to find my heart's desire
|
I'm gonna rob the nest
|
|
Just like little miss muffett
|
Eating her whey and curds
|
When I act a bit tough
|
I frighten away the birds
|
|
I'm gonna be a slummin' hummin' bird
|
|
I'm gonna pass along the word
|
I'm gonna have my fun and never tire
|
And if my technique seems absurd
|
That's because I've never been
|
A shady lady bird.
|
|
(Musical Break)
|
|
I'm gonna be a shady lady bird
|
I hope the payment is deferred
|
For if I fly back safely to my perch
|
And find the worst has not occurred
|
That's because I've never been
|
A shady lady bird.
