lyrics

Now when the birds all walk the streets at night
They dance around because they've got the right.
A bus load comes in - you should have seen the sight.
When the birds all walk the streets at night.

The sailor who taunted them
Goes to sleep alone again.
Every night they've haunted him
With memories of his loneliness.

When the birds all walk the streets at night
They laugh and flirt - you know if feels alright.
They see a cute bird and giggle out of fright
When the birds all walk the streets at night.

They go around from store to store
Just looking for an open door.
Try on clothes and eat our food
And try to feel a better mood.

*mouth trumpet break*

They step into my favorite bar
And order up a round of four.
Take a gulp, begin to cry
Whoever told them birds should fly?

When the birds all walk the streets at night
They hang their heads when they see the light.
They feel the pain of upcoming flight
When the birds all walk the streets at night.

Morning comes again and again
And the sailor still ain't got a friend.
Every bird lifts its heavy wing
He thinks they're free and curses them
