Tennessee Bird Walk

(Jack Blanchard)



Take away the trees and the birds

All have to sit upon the ground

Take away their wings and the birds

All have to walk to get around.



Take away their bird baths

And dirty birds will soon be everywhere

Take away their feathers

And the birds will walk around in underwear.



Take away their ___

And the birds will have to whisper their sing (chirp-chirp)

Take away their common sense

And they'll head it southward in the spring.



Remember me my darling

When spring is in the air

And the bald headed birds

Are whispering everywhere.



And you can see them walkin'

Southward in their dirty underwear

Tennessee bird walk.

How 'bout some trees

So the birds won't have to sit upon the ground

How 'bout some wings

So the birds won't have to walk to get around.



How 'bout a bird bath or two

So the birds will all be clean

How 'bout some feathers

So their underwear no longer will be seen.



How 'bout a __

So the birds won't have to whisper when they sing

How bout some common sense

So they won't be blockin' traffic in the spring.



Remember me my darling

When spring is in the air

And the bald headed birds

Are whispering everywhere.



And you can see them walkin'

Southward in their dirty underwear

Tennessee bird walk.



Tennessee bird walk.

The Tennessee bird walk.
