Bird of Paradise

I've been looking for the Bird of Paradise
To Fly over this here town
Many sightings been reported
Locals swearin' that they've seen her
Right here in this ol' town
If only she would choose me
Life would be so gosh darn groovy
Here in this ol' town
No more worries no more troubles
I'd marry my girl Bubbles
Here in my hometown

Please please Bird of Paradise
Come land right on my head
You can make your nest there
Consider it your bed
Please please Bird of wonder
Make your self at home
Cause when you make your nest there
I'll never need my comb
Please please Bird of Paradise
I'll never ask for more
We'll both be sittin' pretty
On the throne of local lore

So slapped some glue on my forehead
Sprinkled sparkly sprinkles on there
Lure that bird on down
Wearing a lathe and a moo moo
Brightly colored ala' poo poo c'mon bird
Fly on down to town
We will make a life together
You know, birds of a feather
Right here in this ol' town
Just my Bubbles, you and me
Livin' high and mightily
Right here in this ol' town
