Lyrics

[Verse 1] There once was a robin who lived in the West He discovered a very strange egg in his nest He turned to his wife with an angry remark She said, "Don't get ruffled, I did it just for a lark." [Chorus] Toorala (Toorala), tooralay (Tooralay) A rolling stone gathers no moss, so they say Sing along (Sing Along), learn the words (Learn the words) It's a wonderful song but it's all for the birds [Verse 2] A sparrow and vulture once met in the air Soon they were coupling, a love-hungry pair The passionate vulture emitted somе bleats The sparrow inquired, "Am I hurtin' ya, sweets?" [Chorus] Toorala (Toorala), tooralay (Tooralay) A rolling stonе gathers no moss, so they say Sing along (Sing Along), learn the words (Learn the words) It's a wonderful song but it's all for the birds [Verse 3] How to kiss a duck's arse without tasting the down This answer has come from some men of renown Endless experiments showed them the trick You blow and you kiss, but you gotta be quick [Chorus] Toorala (Toorala), tooralay (Tooralay) A rolling stone gathers no moss, so they say Sing along (Sing Along), learn the words (Learn the words) It's a wonderful song but it's all for the birds [Verse 4] There once was a parrot with strings on his feet If you pulled on the right string, he'd recite Nelson's Fleet You pulled on the left string, he'd act a farce If you pulled on them both, he'd fall flat on his arse [Chorus] Toorala (Toorala), tooralay (Tooralay) A rolling stone gathers no moss, so they say Sing along (Sing Along), learn the words (Learn the words) It's a wonderful song but it's all for the birds [Verse 5] So, here's to the birds, let us sing loud their praise Their plumage, their habits, their natural ways We're grateful it's birds flying up in the sky Think of the fallout, if horses could fly [Chorus] Toorala (Toorala), tooralay (Tooralay) A rolling stone gathers no moss, so they say Sing along (Sing Along), learn the words (Learn the words) It's a wonderful song but it's all for the birds
