Original Off-Broadway Cast
Birds (”A Little Complex”)
[Jeune]
Sometimes I think
I'm having a thought

(pause)

But then I realize I'm not!

You see...
I have birds

[Jitter]
Birds?

[Jeune]
I have little birds
Flying 'round my head
Fly, little birds, fly
Surround my golden hair
Build a pretty nest up there

With twigs and sprigs
And bits of twine
Who cleans the messes
They leave in my tresses
Your guess is as good as mine!

Ah
Fly, little birds, fly
Don't poke me in the eye
It's hard to hear your words
As I might have said
With all these little birds
Flying 'round my head
