May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose
One fine day as I was walking down the streetI spied a beggar man with rags upon his feetTook a penny from my pocket in his tin cup I did drop itAnd I heard him say as I made my retreatMay the bird of paradise fly up your nose may an elephant careless you with it's toesMay your wife be plagued with runners in her hoseMay the bird of paradise fly up your nose[ guitar ]My laundry man is really on his toes found a hundred dollar bill among my clothesWhen he called me I came running gave him back his dime for phoningAnd I heard him saying as I turned to goMay the bird of paradisee...[ steel ]I was way behind one day to catch a trainThe taxi driver said we'll make it just the sameA speed cop made it with us and as he wrote out the ticketI stood by politely waitin' for my change
