Standard (EADGBE)
Take away the trees and the birds
all have to sit upon the ground, uum.
Take away their wings and
the birds will have to walk to get around.
And take away the bird baths,
and dirty birds will soon be everywhere.
Take away their feathers and
the birds will walk around in underwear.
Take away their chirp and the
birds will have to whisper when they sing.
And take away their common sense and
they'll be headed southward in the spring.
Chorus
Oh, remember me my darling, when spring is in the air,
and the bald headed birds are whispering everywhere.
You can see them walking southward in their dirty underwear,
it's the Tennessee Bird walk.
How about some trees so the birds won't have to sit upon
the ground? uum.
How about some wings so the birds won't have to walk
to get around.
And how about a bird bath or two so the birds will
all be clean?
How about some feathers so their underwear no longer
can be seen?
How about a chirp so the birds won't have to whisper
when they sing.
And how about some common sense so they won't be blocking
traffic in the spring?
Chorus
Oh, remember me my darling, when spring is in the air,
and the bald headed birds are whispering everywhere.
You can see them walking southward in their dirty underwear,
it's the Tennessee Bird walk. (Last line x3.)
