[Verse 1]
Fly on down birdy far from the North Pole
Meet you in Georgia, trade peaches for snow
You've had a hard time birdie, like rocks and like stones
But you sing when it's sunny, and you sing when it's cold

[Verse 2]
Sing a song birdy for your body is grace
And sing for your mama 'fore she flies away
Sing a song birdy, for all of your pain
And you can sing a song birdy, for the great golden state

[Verse 3]
And looking now birdy, see how you've grown
With eyes from the heavens and iron for bones
Raising those brothers like two chicks of your own
You've done a good job birdy, you've done better than most

[Bridge]
Fly around Venice, fly around Rome
Sync with the city and never come home
Birdy, nobody blames you for flying away
Look at you birdy, you carry the stage

[Verse 4]
So come on now birdy through the fury and the fire
Fly a little birdy, for your father, he's a liar
I'll meet you in the city of the bicycle tyres
And you can sing with me birdy on telephone wires
