Peggy Lee - Shady Lady Bird lyrics

rate me

I'm gonna be a shady lady bird, I've got an awful lot to learn

But if you tell me that my heart's on fire, I'm gonna let it burn

I'm gonna be a shocking mocking bird, I'm gonna mingle with the best

I'm try to find my hearts desire, I'm gonna rob the nest

Just like Little Miss Muffet eating away her curd

When I act a bit tough I find no way the bird

I'm gonna be slumming, hummingbird, I'm gonna pass along the word

I'm gonna have my fun and never tire and if the technique seems absurd

That's because I've never been a shady lady bird

I'm gonna be a shady lady bird, I hope the payment is deferred

Or if the fly back's simply to my first

You'll find the worst has not occurred

That's because I've never been a shady lady bird
