Well I didn't tell anyone but a bird flew by 
Saw what I'd done 
He set up a nest outside 
And he sang about what I'd become 
He sang so loud he sang so clear 
I was afraid all the neighbours would hear 
So I invited him in just to reason with him 
I promised I wouldn't do it again 
But he sang louder and louder inside the house 
And now I couldn't get him out 
So I trapped him under a cardboard box 
Stood on it to make it stop 
Picked up the bird and the bird was dead 
And said that's the last song you'll ever sing 
Held him down broke his neck 
Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget 
But in my dreams began to creep 
That old familiar tweet tweet tweet 
I opened my mouth to scream and shout 
I waived my arms and flapped about 
But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout 
Couldn't scream and I couldn't shout 
I opened my mouth to scream and shout 
I waived my arms and flapped about 
But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout 
The song was coming from my mouth 
From my mouth
