(Acapella)
Well I didn't tell anyone but
A bird flew by, and saw what I'd done
It set up a nest outside
And he sang about what I'd become

    F
He sang so loud
    C
He sang so clear
E                     Am
I was afraid all the neighbours would hear
       F                     C
So I invited him in, just to reason with him
   E                  Am
I promised I wouldn't do it again...

             F
But he sang louder and louder inside the house
     C
And now I couldn't get him out
     E
So I trapped him under a cardboard box
       Am
And stood on it to make him stop

F
I picked up the bird and above the dim I said
C
"That's the last song you'll ever sing"
F
Held him down, broke his neck
C                                    E     Am
Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget

   F          C      E       Am
But in my dreams began to creep
     F       C       E
That old familiar 'tweet tweet tweet'

   E
I opened my mouth to scream and shout
   Am
I waved my arms and flapped about
        E
But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
 Am
Couldn't scream and I couldn't shout

   E
I opened my mouth to scream and shout
   Am
I waved my arms and flapped about
       E
But I couldn't scream, I couldn't shout
     Am                      F       C
The song was coming from my mouth
         E    Am
From my mouth (15x)
