Artist/Band: The B-52's
Lyrics for Song: Big Bird
Lyrics for Album: Whammy! [1983]



There's a big bird over my house

Go away, go away

There's a big bird flying over my house

And it looks like it's decided to stay

It's making a mistake, a big mistake



Big bird

Big bird

Big bird

Big bird



I pinch myself

I think I'm not dreaming

I'm not

I hear screaming

C'mon! Get it out now



Wants to use me to feather its nest

Now it wants the rest

Wants to use me to feather its nest

Now it wants the rest



It's swooping from the branch

It's swooping from the sky

Spreadin' its feathers

Cuttin' out-flying



There's a big gray bird flying over my house

What do you think I am?

I'm not a louse



There's a big bird over my house

There's a big, big, big bird

Over my house



What's it doing?

What does it want?

What's it doing?

What does it want?

What's it doing?

What does it want?

What's it doing?

What does it want?



What's it doing?

What does it want?

What's it doing?

What does it want?

What's it doing?

What does it want?

What's it doing?

What does it want?



I pinch myself

I think I'm dreaming

I'm not, I hear screaming

C'mon! Get it out now



Wants to use me to feather its nest

Now it wants the rest

Wants to use me to feather its nest

Now it wants the rest



It's swooping from the branch

Swooping from the sky

Spreadin' its feathers

Cuttin' out-flying



There's a big gray bird circling

'Round my house

Circling round and round

Circling round my house



There's a big bird over my house

There's a big, big, big bird

Over my house


Big Bird

The B-52's' "Big Bird" is a quintessential example of the band's irreverent, funk-infused rock style, released on their 1983 album *Whammy!*. Featuring the group's signature high-pitched vocals and quirky instrumentation, the track captures the chaotic energy that defined their early career. As part of their discography, the song reflects the band's unique blend of new wave and funk, contributing to their reputation for theatrical performance and memorable hooks. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke the specific cultural moment of the early 1980s while maintaining a timeless, playful spirit.
