Well it’s a Saturday night and there’s nothing to do I’m gonna get myself a new tattoo Ain’t no rose is gonna do I’m gonna get myself a blue bird to remind me of you
He ain’t gonna go on my arm or my back No this bird don’t fly with the rest of the pack He’ll be no drinking Joe or Jack And he won’t fly away and forget to come back
No he won’t fly away and leave his home No he won’t fly away and leave his home He’ll stay by my side Blue blue bird fly
Well a weeks gone by and I’m feeling fine Yeah the sun came out and started to shine I’m glad you’re gone, I don’t think I mind Because my little blue birds got ‘em waitin’ in line
Now my dance card’s full since you went away And this here bird just found out how to play No he’s no drag he don’t bring me down And so I shake my blue bird every night on the town
No he won’t fly away and leave his home No he won’t fly away and leave his home He’ll stay by my side Blue blue bird fly
