Take away the trees and the birds   All have to sit upon the ground, uum   Take away their wings and    The birds will have to walk to get around   And take away the bird baths   And dirty birds will soon be ev'rywhere   Take away their feathers and    The birds will walk around in underwear   Take away their chirp and the    Birds will have to whisper when they sing   And take away their common sense and   They'll be headed southward in the spring      Oh remember my darling    When spring is in the air   And the bald headed birds   Are whisp'ring ev'rywhere   You can see them walking   Southward in their dirty underwear   That's Tennessee Bird walk      How about some trees so the birds   Won't have to sit upon the ground, uum   How about some wings so the    Birds won't have to walk to get around   And how about a bird bath or two    so the birds will all be clean   How about some feathers so their    Underwear no longer can be seen   How about a chirp so the birds   Won't have to whisper when they sing   And how about some common sense so they   Won't be blocking traffic in the spring      Oh remember my darling    When spring is in the air   And the bald headed birds   Are whisp'ring ev'rywhere   You can see them walking   Southward in their dirty underwear   That's Tennessee Bird walk
