Exotic Birds

[Verse 1]
Birds looking down from an air view
Swooping down where the rodents stay
Flying by where the wind blew
A canary when you really are a cockatoo
Eyes peering out from a grape vine
Exotic birds in the twilight sun
Stretching back line a feline
Silly robin never shares her fruit with anyone

[Chorus]
I don’t care what it says
The cassowary stays
I raised him with my thumb

[Verse 2]
Here deep inside of the dark wood
Sleeping still where the finches lay
There are thieves up to no good
He’s a sinner eating dinner in a rabbit suit
She, hesitant just to follow
Featured act of tomorrow’s show
Says a turtle is too slow
Toss the towel cause an owl wouldn’t give a hoot

[Chorus]
I don’t care what it says
The cassowary stays
I raised him with my thumb
And a bucket of whey
I don’t care what it says
The cassowary stays
He’s not just anyone
Don’t take him away

[Verse 3]
Here deep inside of the dark wood
Sleeping still where the finches lay
There are thieves up to no good
Stop the robber who will try to steal them anyway

[Chorus]
I don’t care what it says
The cassowary stays
I raised him with my thumb
And a bucket of whey
I don’t care what it says
The cassowary stays
He’s not just anyone
Don’t take him away
