Well it’s a Saturday night and there’s nothing to do
I’m gonna get myself a new tattoo
Ain’t no rose is gonna do
I’m gonna get myself a blue bird to remind me of you
He ain’t gonna go on my arm or my back
No this bird don’t fly with the rest of the pack
He’ll be no drinking Joe or Jack
And he won’t fly away and forget to come back
No he won’t fly away and leave his home
No he won’t fly away and leave his home
He’ll stay by my side
Blue blue bird fly
Well a weeks gone by and I’m feeling fine
Yeah the sun came out and started to shine
I’m glad you’re gone, I don’t think I mind
Because my little blue birds got ‘em waitin’ in line
Now my dance card’s full since you went away
And this here bird just found out how to play
No he’s no drag he don’t bring me down
And so I shake my blue bird every night on the town
No he won’t fly away and leave his home
No he won’t fly away and leave his home
He’ll stay by my side
Blue blue bird fly
