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
