Lyrics

Watch the birdie, we'll take a camera candid shot Watch the birdie, come on and give it all you've got Watch the birdie, just look around and pick a spot And hold it Watch the birdie, just strike a funny pose a while Watch the birdie, or you can beat that pose a mile Watch the birdie and let me see your pretty smile And hold it We're looking for a tall dark handsome man With eyes of blue and the golden tan Strong white teeth like Joel McCray Hey you, get out of the way Watch the birdie, we'll take a camera candid shot Watch the birdie, come on and give it all you've got Watch the birdie, just look around and pick a spot And hold it (hold it!) Hold it Move it!
