Birdman Songtext
von Brenton Wood

Let me tell you people ′bout a story I heard
All about the man who wanted to be a bird
It happened one day when he was walkin' down the street
He saw a little bird fly out of a tree
So he made up in his mind
That he wanted to fly

So he went to the feather house and made him some wings
The people say, "What you gonna do with them things?"
He said, "I′m gonna fly, if it cost me my life"

So he walked out the door and he looked up in the sky
He saw a buildin', I say, 40 stories high
So he climbed to the top
And then he flopped

Da, da, da, flop, flop, flop, flop
Floppin' your wings and fly away


The people gathered around and said my story was a lie
When all of the sudden, I heard somebody cry
"It′s a bird, it′s a plane!"
No, it's a man, yeah

Ooh, da, da, da, da, da
Flop, flop, flop, flop
Floppin′ your wings and fly away, yeah

How are you, birdman?
Oh, you're on your way?
Ah, to Mars, huh?
Well, how about bring me back one of the those old Mars burgers?
Yeah, I dig ′em
They outta sight
You know, they diggin' on the moon now
Yeah, will you be over there soon?
Yeah, it′s all right, it's outta sight
But uh, you know, fly, birdman
Can you dig it?
Yeah, outta sight
Too much!
