The Birdwatcher Lyrics
Da doooo dada
Da doooo dada
Birdwatcher
Thesba called me on the phone
He had a case of colic
I told him it was cause he was
A Rubbing alcoholic
Drempkin was so proud he was
Such a great romancer
Till I said the world could use
One less beer-bellied dancer
Mel Katain was pregnant and
She heard all the expressions
It's just a hot flash or
Or else those fire breathing lessons
I sleep, I dream, I dream I sleep
Sometimes dreaming is too deep
If I could shed one layer now
I'd still remain asleep somehow
Da doooo dada
(Birdwatcher)
Da doooo dada
Birdwatcher
Thesba called me on the phone
He had a case of colic
(Fightin fire with fire)
I told him it was cause he was
A Rubbing alcoholic
(Now he's hittin the sauce)
Drempkin was so proud he was
Such a great romancer
(He's always watchin the birds)
Till I said the world could use
One less beer-bellied dancer
Mel Katain was pregnant and
She heard all the expressions
It's just a hot flash or
Or else those fire breathing lessons
I sleep, I dream, I Dream I sleep
Sometimes dreaming is too deep
If I could shed one layer now
I'd still remain asleep somehow
Da doooo dada
(Birdwatcher)
Da doooo dada
