Don't Touch My Birdie
Parokya Ni Edgar · Buruguduystunstugudunstuy [1998]
Look!
Up in the sky!
It's a bird! Aaayyy!
Bird Nga!
Kapag ako'y nababato
Pinaglalaruan ko ang birdie ko
Ang cute cute naman kasi
Kaya ko siya binili
My birdie is my bestfriend
Ang dami naming maliligayang sandali
Madalas ko siyang pinapakain ng birdseed
Mahal kita o birdie ko, 'wag kang lalayo
Chorus:
Don't touch my birdie
Resist temptation please
You don't have to grab my birdie
Just call it, and it will come
Adlib:
Ang birdie ko ay nakakatuwa
Parang cobra na mahilig manuka
Kapag nilabas na mula sa kulungan
Tuloy-ttuloy na ang aming kasiyahan
Di naman ako madamot talaga
Ayaw ko lang na hinahawakan s'ya ng iba
Ang birdie ko ay medyo masungit
Konting hawak lang siguradong magagalit
Repeat Chorus:
Interlude:
It will come
Bridge:
Huwag ka sanang magalit'sa akin
Tuwing ang birdie ko ay aking hihimasin
Sana'y maunawaan mo
Mahal na mahal ko ang birdie ko
Pati mga itlog nito
Repeat Chorus: (2x)
Coda:
It will come
It will come
