Flamingo Baby Lyrics - Why Do Birds Sing? - Violent Femmes

You're a flamingo 

You stand on one leg 

You're a flamingo baby 

You hatched from an egg 

Well you hold your foot up 

So delicately over the sea 

And when it comes down 

It comes down on me 

Well it used to want to hump you 

I used to want to rock and roll 

I was attracted to your gracefulness 

But your surprise sure took its toll 

Now I guess I'd better go out now 

Gonna try to find something new 

And all I'm left with is this craving 

For some flamingo stew 

Now the beauty's in the gutter 

The loveliness is off her throne 

In the eyes of the beholder it's gone 

And now he feels kind of alone 

But this feeling it's the kind that will shortly pass 

I'm gonna find myself another bird 

And roll on down the grass
