Birdwatching
Words and Music: Cornelius Eady

Oh the Robin is
A pretty little bird
She chirps and pecks
And then she flies

The grass is lush,
The sky’s so blue
But danger has
A roving eye

You better beware
Oh, have a care
Someone has their eye
On you
Your particular skin
Is a popular sin
Doesn’t matter what you do.

And now the cop kneels
Down to prey
His heaven’s a place
Where you go away.
One and one and one is three
Gonna sweep you away
On his bended knee.

Oh, to be birdwatching
And not be seen a stalkin’
Oh, to be birdwatching
On such a lovely day
Oh, to be birdwatching
And not be seen a stalkin’
Oh, to be birdwatching
On such a lovely day.

And now the cop kneels
Down to prey
Their heaven’s a place
Where you cannot stay
One and one and one is three
Gonna sweep you away
On his bended knee.

Oh, to be birdwatching
And not be seen a stalkin’
Oh, to be birdwatching
On such a lovely day
Oh, to be birdwatching
And not be seen a stalkin’
Oh, to be birdwatching
On such a lovely day.

Oh the Karen is a
Saucy little thing,
Swoops through the park
Like a breath of Spring.

Got the world on her side
And her dog on a leach
Got a phone to practice
What she preach.

And now the cop kneels
Down to prey
His heaven’s a place
Where you cannot stay
One and one and one is three
Gonna sweep you away
On his bended knee.

Oh, to be birdwatching
And not be seen a stalkin’
Oh, to be birdwatching
On such a lovely day
Oh, to be birdwatching
And not be seen a stalkin’
Oh, to be birdwatching
On such a lovely day.
