Well I didn't tell anyone but a bird flew by
Saw what I'd done, he 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 neighbours 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 no, I couldn't get him out
so I trapped him under a cardboard box
stood on it to make it stop
I picked up the bird and above the din
I said that's the last time you'll ever sing
Held him down, broke his neck
taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget

But in my dreams began to hear
the old familiar
tweet tweet tweet

I opened my mouth to scream and shout
and 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
and I waved my arms and flapped about
but I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
the song was coming from my mouth

from my mouth (repeat 15 times)
