My feathers don't shine brightly in the moonlight

I don't know how to sing a pretty song

Like water off a duck's back, you seem to slip away

Well, natural selection be damned, I'll be ok

I used to think I'd wanna be a bird of paradise

But now I'm happy being just a quail

I used to think I'd wanna be a bird of paradise

But now I'm happy being just a quail

You've got all your dances and your colors

While I'm over here just trippin' on my own feet

Can't fly all too well, well it's not so hard to tell

I don't got the moves, but I'm bobbing to my own beat

I used to think I'd wanna be a bird of paradise

But now I'm happy being just a quail

I used to think I'd wanna be a bird of paradise

But now I'm happy being just a quail
