Well I didn't tell anyone But a bird flew by, saw what I had 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 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 Stood on it to make him stop I picked up the bird, and above the din 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 I 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 and I couldn't shout The song was coming from my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth...
