The Bronx Bird Watcher Lyrics

On a branch of a tree sat a little tomtit,
Singing willow, t** willow, t** willow.
An uncomfortable place for a boidie to sit,
Singing willow, t** willow, t** willow.
So I said to him, "Boidie, why don't you go way?"
He said, "Thenks very much, but I'm planning to stay.
I'm gung sit on that branch for the rest of the day,
Singing willow, t** willow, t** willow."

So I said to him, "Boidie, you look so distraught.
Singing willow, t** willow, t** willow.
You gonna be glad when you'll see what I brought.
A pillow, a pillow, a pillow."

I said, "Boidie, your pardon I humbly would beg.
Put this comfortable pillow right under your leg."
He said, "Leave me alone while I'm laying an egg.
Uh willow, t** willow, t** willow."
That night by the light of a matzoh ball moon,
Singing willow, t** willow, t** willow.
That boidie was singing the same catchy tune.
Willow, t** willow, t** willow.

And I came, and I took him right down from his branch,
And I brought him back home to mine split-level ranch,
And I said to my wife, "Here's a gift for you, Blanche.
He sings 'willow, t** willow, t** willow.'"
Next morning I got up and went to the shop,
Singing willow, t** willow, t** willow.
That tune was so catchy, it just wouldn't stop.
Willow willow willow t***y willow willow willow t***y willow willow willow willow.

That night I said, "Blanche, how's the bird?" She said, "Well,
The boid was delicious, it tasted just swell.
But as I fricaseed him, he gave out a yell:
'Oi willow, t** willow, t** willow.'"
