Bird-Man Style

[Intro]
While Nico playin' style, wicked an' wild
Music call "The Birdman Shooting"
Some talk 'bout di birdman huntin'
You don't eat di bird, don't shoot him (Do it!)

[Chorus]
'Cause, if you don't eat di bird, don't shoot him
Mi say, if you don't eat di bird, don't shoot him

[Verse 1]
Mi say, mi gon' pon a birdman huntin'
Mi say, di first bird mi shoot is a gaulin
Mi say, di next one mi catch is a pigeon
About di pigeon, say, him different from di rest
Him fly go a east an' him fly go a west
Him scratch an' sniff, him takes straw making nest
I tell you, pon mi house top a where mi pigeon rest
An' every morning him just a puff up him chest
I tell you, fi mi pigeon, say, him different from di rest

[Chorus]
Jah man, 'cause if you don't eat di bird, don't shoot him
Mi say, if you don't eat di bird, don't shoot him
Mi say, if you don't eat di bird, don't shoot him

[Verse 2]
Mi gon' pon a birdman huntin'
Mi say, di first bird mi shoot is a gaulin
Mi say, di next one mi catch is a pigeon (Jah man)
'Bout di pigeon, say, him different from di rest
Him fly go a east an' him fly go a west
Him scratch an' sniff, him takes straw making nest
I tell you, pon mi house top a where mi pigeon rest
An' every morning him just a puff up him chest
I tell you, say, mi pigeon, say, him different from di rest

[Chorus]
Jah man, 'cause if you don't eat di bird, don't shoot him
Mi say, if you don't eat di bird, don't shoot him

[Bridge]
For, mi say, if you have a wing like a dove
Jah man, mi a go fly, go a listen Rub-a-Dub
An' even carry mi girl, go to a night club
Well, I tell you, Rub-a-Dub, I said, I fi want it fi rub

[Chorus]
Jah man, 'cause if you don't eat di bird, don't shoot him
'Cause if you don't eat di bird, don't shoot him

[Verse 3]
Mi say, mi gon' pon a birdman huntin'
Mi say, di first bird mi shoot is a gaulin
Mi say, di next one mi hold is a pigeon (Jah man)
'Bout mi pigeon, say, him different from di rest
Him fly go a east an' him fly go a west
Him scratch an' sniff, him takes straw making nest
I tell you, pon mi house top a where mi pigeon rest
An' every morning him just a puff up him chest
I tell you, say, mi pigeon, say, him different from di rest

[Chorus]
You don't eat di bird, don't shoot him
Mi say, if you don't eat di bird, don't shoot him
Mi say, if you don't eat di bird, don't shoot him
For, dis a bird-a, dis a birdman style
Jah man, for dis a bird-a, dis a birdman style
Jah man, for dis a one, you too wicked and wild
Say, if I tell ya, cyaan touch it, man, it have a smile

[Outro]
Jah man, 'cause if you don't eat di bird, don't shoot him
Mi say, if you don't eat di bird, don't shoot him
Mi say, mi gon' pon a birdman huntin'
