How many shrimps do you have to eat
Before you make your skin turn pink
Eat too much and you'll get sick
Shrimps are pretty rich

One day, down at the lake
Stood a bird with a very long face
I was like, are you okay?
And folding it's neck, it explained
"i suffered from a seafood allergy
So my feathers arent colored by carotine
And all the other birds teased me
Just because I don't match their colour scheme"
Black, white, green or blue
Show off your natural hue, flamingo!
Oh, if you're multi-colored thats cool too
You don't need to change
Its boring being the same, flamingo!
Oh, you're pretty either way

To cheer up, we went to the zoo
And we found the flamingo pool
But while the flamingos snoozed
The keeper put pink dye in the food!
When my companion saw
It decided it didn't want to be pink anymore
"Those birds look like ornaments
Lined up on a garden lawn!"
Black, white, green or blue
Show off your natural hue, flamingo
Oh, if youre multi-colored thats cool too!
You don't need to change
Its boring being the same, flamingo
Oh, you're pretty either way

How many shrimps do you have to eat
Before you make your skin turn pink?
Eat too much, and you'll get sick!
Shrimps are pretty rich

Green or blue, show off your natural hue
Flamingo!
Oh, if youre multi-colored thats cool too

You don't need to change, its boring being the same
Flamingo!
Oh, youre pretty either way
Flamingo, oh!
Flamingo
