Artist/Band: Ringo Starr
Lyrics for Song: Sing A Song For The Tragopan
Lyrics for Album: Scouse the Mouse [1977]



"When I spoke to him in China," the Tragopan said

"I don't wanna niggle, but I think I'll soon be dead.

If they chop down the trees I'll have nowhere to hide

Along will come a hunter and he'll take me by surprise."



Let's sing a song for the Tragopan

The pheasant who can't live without ease

Don't let them chop down the trees that he needs

The tragopan can't live without leaves



"Last seen in China," the Tragopan said

How would you feel if they took away your bed

Closed up your garage and pulled out the phone

Took away the deep freeze and left you all alone?"



Let's sing a song for the Tragopan

The pheasant who can't live without ease

Don't let them chop down the trees that he needs

The Tragopan can't live without leaves



Let's sing a song for the Tragopan

The pheasant who can't live without ease

Don't let them chop down the trees that he needs

The Tragopan can't live without leaves



Don't let them chop down the trees that he needs

The Tragopan can't live without leaves

Don't let them chop down the trees that he needs

The Tragopan can't live without leaves


Sing A Song For The Tragopan

Ringo Starr's 'Sing A Song For The Tragopan' appears on the 1977 album Scouse the Mouse, a record that reflects his playful approach to pop and novelty songwriting. As the drummer turned frontman who successfully transitioned from The Beatles to a solo career, Starr often infused his recordings with whimsical themes and accessible melodies. This track fits within a broader discography that includes hits like 'Photograph' and 'It Don't Come Easy,' showcasing his ability to blend straightforward rock with lighthearted storytelling. The song represents a moment in his mid-seventies output where he continued to explore unique subjects while maintaining the warm, inviting vocal style that defined his solo work. It stands as a charming example of his willingness to experiment with titles and concepts that might not immediately suggest a hit, yet remain engaging to listeners familiar with his catalog.
