Them Bird Things



Lyrics
Album list

Them Bird Things

Hornswoggled

...and gather 'round
I have a tale to tell
'bout how I fled this town
back when Red MacDougal's
speckled chicken didn't lay
and the Hanson Twins' cows ran dry
from February 'til May
I found myself shanghaied
in the spring of '33
when Lon Chaney Senior
came walking up to me
speaking nonsense about clowns
in the middle of the night

and how he and Louie Jacobs
went and stole a flashlight

wandered my way to and fro
until I saw the southern sea
where three square meals a day
made a sailor outta me
mopped the decks for six full moons
don't wanna brag or boast
hopped overboard and swam ashore
when we hit the Ivory Coast...
