Well, I didn't tell anyone but a bird flew by Saw what I'd done and set up a nest outside And he sang about what I'd become
He sang so loud, sang so clear I was afraid all the neighbors would hear So I invited him in just to reason with him I promised I wouldn't do it again
But he sang louder and louder inside the house And now I couldn't get him out So I trapped him under a cardboard box And stood on it to make him stop
I picked up the bird and above the dim I said "That's the last song you'll ever sing" Held him down, broke his neck Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget
But in my dreams began to creep That old familiar tweet, tweet, tweet
I opened my mouth to scream and shout I waved my arms and flapped about But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout Couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
I opened my mouth to scream and shout I waved my arms and flapped about But I couldn't scream I couldn't shout The song was coming from my mouth
From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth
From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth
From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth
From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth
