Transcript
00:00Once there was a kid called Gary who sat in his bird bar every day
00:18Who wouldn't come inside to eat, who wouldn't go out to play
00:28Sing like a bird to Gary
00:37Mum screamed, come in you little bastard, Gary for God's sake come inside
00:46Mrs. Lockett stopped and stared, Gary's mother would have died
00:55Sing like a bird to Gary
01:04She dropped some bums into the milk that Gary drank that night
01:13And as his load of offbeat wings she worked to put things right
01:22Sleep like a bird, Gary
01:35You could hear her smashing, her teeth were gnashing
01:49She screamed like the witch of Endor, never a bird born without her
02:02She laughed all the louder
02:11When Gary came to and saw the trick by the ugly light of day
02:20The little mother was so upset he flew away
02:29Fly like a bird, Gary
02:38Fly, fly, fly
03:08Fly like a bird, Gary
