Transcribed from Simon Mayor's "The Parrot Song"
Introduction:
Two parrots sat on a perch and one turns and says to the other "Do you smell fish?"
"o-o-oh, yeah, 'at's a good joke in't it? ….but, y'know, a l'il tip. People would understand it bett'er Ron, if you said 'There were two parrots what sat on a 'addock, and one says to the other…' "
Now if I say something interesting
Or something really nice
It's daft to only say it once
When I could say it…?
( RT audience) TWICE!
But herein lies a problem
And it really is quite sad
'Cause if you go 'round repeating things
People think you're…?
(RT audience) MAD!
No. A parrot.
CHORUS:
I'm a parrot (I'm a parrot) I'm your RT friend
I say the same things all day long to drive you 'round the bend
"Pieces of eight, pieces of eight, AWK! Oh, that pretty boy!"
Intelligent conversation is the one thing I enjoy.
Now, if I were a parrot policeman, I wouldn't say, "…'ello?"
I'd say, "…'ello, 'ello, 'ello, 'ello, 'ello..."
And if I joined the Army, now wouldn't it be super?
I couldn't be a Royal Marine. I'd be a parrot –rooper.
CHORUS
I'm a parrot (I'm a parrot) I'm your closest friend
I say the same things all day long to drive you 'round the bend
"Pieces of eight, pieces of eight, AWK! Oh, that pretty boy!"
Intelligent conversation is the one thing I enjoy
Now if I ever did get lost, for a Hunter I would look,
He would find me quick enough, and bring me to book,
He knows me well, he knows me well, AWK! we could be the same,
IIntelligent backup, and support, is the name of our game.
CHORUS
I'm a parrot (a lost parrot) I'm your RT friend
I say the same things all day long to drive you 'round the bend
"Pieces of eight, pieces of eight, AWK! Oh, that pretty boy!"
Intelligent conversation is the one thing I enjoy.
