Little Bird

One day I'm gonna be as tall as a big magnolia tree. Tell my mother to not come after me. Tell my mother to not come after me. The fear will fly from my feet the day I turn 23. Tell my mother to not come after me. Tell my mother to not come after me Her little bird Little bird Little bird One day I'm gonna shake the hand of the real world out on the street. After mother has said, "So long!" to me. After mother has said, "So long!" to me "My baby!", she's gonna weep if something should ever happen to me. But I've gotta jump now before it's too late and if I land in a casket, at least they could say Her little bird. Her little bird grew big wings. Little bird. Little bird grew big wings. Dangerous things. One day I'm gonna be as tall as a big magnolia tree Tell my mother to not come after me. Tell my mother to not come after me.
