C                                                 Am
In some nice young up-to-date kitchen
C                                  Am
Let us get acquainted, dear
                 G           Am                           Bm    Am
And them old floor-birds would just quit eatin'
               C             D         G
And just grin from ear to ear.

Two floor birds and a prudent baby chick, yes that's me 
That ain't much to bust
But restriction causes damage
And damage causes lust.

So, poor little girl, come blow this horn
Hard as any horn might seem
It's very easily done, actually
All you have to do is dream.

(Instrumental verse)

Well, the whole back-strappers are a dime a dozen
And I can get a cup for a nickel
Yes, but look what an earful I get and it's all awful too
Every time I try to go get me a little tickle.

So, give me one sweet loaf of bread
Just one sweet loaf, I'll fill it up and I'll be gone
Yes, just like some of these old floor birds
Who fly from dawn to dawn
Who fly from dawn to dawn
Who fly from dawn to dawn
Who fly from dawn to dawn.
