Flamingo Baby Songtext
von Violent Femmes

Yeah, you′re a flamingo
You stand on one leg
Yeah, you're a flamingo, baby
You hatched from an egg
Well, you hold your foot up
So delicately over the sea
And when it come down
It comes down on me

Well, it used to want to hump you
I used to want to rock and roll
I was attracted to your gracefulness
But your surprise sure took its toll
Now I guess I′d better go on out now
Gonna try to find something new
And all I'm left with is this craving for some flamingo stew


Now the beauty's in the gutter
The loveliness is off her throne
In the eyes of the beholder, it′s gone
And now he feels kind of alone
Now this feeling, it′s the kind, it's one that will shortly pass
I′m gonna find myself another bird
And roll on down the grass

Yeah, you're a flamingo
You stand on one leg
Get up, get up, get up
Yeah, you′re a flamingo baby, cool
You hatched from an egg
Well, you hold your foot up
So delicately over the sea
And when it comes down
It comes down on me
