Those of you who saw it at EI can skip it, though. ;)
NORWEGIAN BLUE (THIS BIRD HAS FLOWN)
tune: "Norwegian Wood," by the Beatles
I once bought a bird,
Then took it back,
Made a complaint.
Won't move for a month,
Azure in hue,
Norwegian Blue.
I said to the shopkeeper, "I think this parrot is dead!"
He told me it wasn't and might have been sleeping instead
"He misses the fjords,
Hear what I say --
Pining away!"
"I know a dead bird --
Dead as a stone,
This bird has flown!
"Bereft of his life, off the twig, he is resting in peace!
He's run down the curtain, expired, a stiff and deceased!
This parrot's no more,
He's ceased to be,
Now 'istory!"
He's nailed to the perch,
Azure in hue,
Norwegian Blue.
