These Birds (feat. Turkey The Bird)

Verse 1 :

Henriette was a happy hen though she’d get restless now and then When she’d turn her attention to the sky,

she’d say ’I’d like to be up with those birds’

her Mum would say ‘don’t be absurd,

physics won’t allow for that there’s too much drag and that is that’

Chorus:

These birds don’t fly, let me tell you why, to fly requires thrust and lift I’m afraid you didn’t receive that gift

I know it seems unfair it looks like fun up there,

I hate to break it to you but these birds don’t fly

Verse 2:

Andre was a turkey bird and he had the turkey blues,

He knew what lay in store for him

cause he read it in the ‘Turkey News’

‘I’ll steer my fate from the dinner plate

and fly away beyond that gate’

but uncle Adrian sat him down and gave it to him straight

Chorus:

These birds don’t fly let me tell you why,

flight requires lift and thrust and kid you haven’t got enough of either of those things it’s about much more than wings

I hate to break it to you but these birds don’t fly

Bridge:

Funny.. to not be able to.. do the very.. thing you think that birds should do

Verse 3:

Henriette left her chicken coop

for the flightless birds acceptance group

where Andre was commanding a full room

He said ‘I do believe we’ll be airborne soon I’ve built a great big hot air balloon

so wings up who’s on board with me

we’re headed for Fiji’

Chorus:

These birds can fly it’s about the how not why

forget about those silly wings

cause we’ve got brains and other things

to carry us away and I’m overjoyed to say,

these birds can fly

it’s about the how not why,

these birds can fly it’s about the how not why
