YELLOW BIRD
YELLOW BIRD SITTING IN A FARAWAY TREE
I LOOK AT HIM AND HE LOOK AT ME
WE EYE EACH OTHER LIKE WE KINDA SCARED
BUT HE NOT THAT BIG SO I DON'T CARE.
YELLOW BIRD FLIES WITH HIS WINGS SPREAD WIDE
LIGHTS IN A TREE ON MY RIGHT SIDE
I KEEP ON PLANTING MY SEEDS AND SUCH
HE MAKES ME NERVOUS BUT NOT TOO MUCH.
YELLOWBIRD CAWS A BIRDLIKE CALL
AND I SAYS TO HIM "I HOPE YOU FALL"
I KEEP ON WORKING, IGNORE THE FOOL
TILL HE SWOOPS DOWN AND STEALS MY TOOL.
YELLOWBIRD LAUGHS FROM THE TOP OF THE TREE
HOLDS UP MY HOE SO I CAN SEE
I TAKE OUT MY GUN TO SHOOT HIM DEAD
AND THE BIRD AND HOE FALL ON MY HEAD.
YELLOWBIRD SHAKES HIMSELF AND STANDS
SAYS: "NOT TOO BAD FOR A COMMON MAN"
WE EYE EACH OTHER AND THEN WE GRIN
AND THAT'S HOW THE BIRD AND ME BECAME
BEST FRIENDS.
