Rockbird – Lyrics

Some said the Jaybird to the Cockatoo
Want a commitment from inside the zoo
Say hey birdbrain why be sly
Tell me how a rockbird can learn to fly

Hello joe whadooya know
I just got back from the animal show
I left my history teacher sitting in the bleachers
and got back in time to see the second half of creature features

Rockbird pretty boy
Rockbird pretty boy
Fast as light
Rockbird pretty boy
Rockbird pretty boy
Meteorite

Back at the compound they start to get up
Looking at the bottom of an empty cup
Say hey they got the tropics with the migratory
Back to basics a tweedle dee dee

Rockbird pretty boy
Rockbird pretty boy
Fast as light
Rockbird pretty boy
Rockbird pretty boy
Meteorite

Got to get a go-go get me outa this cage
Birdland dancing is all the rage
Gotta get me up there for a bird’s eye view
It’s bird walking weather see ya back at the zoo
