May the Bird of Paradise (Fly Up Your Nose)
One fine day, as I was walkin' down the street
Spied a beggar man with rags upon his feet
Took a penny from my pocket
In his tin cup, I did drop it
And I heard him say, as I made my retreat
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!
May an elephant caress you with his toes!
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose!
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!
My laundryman is really on his toes
Found a hundred dollar bill among my clothes
When he called me, I came runnin'
Gave him back his dime for phonin'
And I heard him say, as I turned to go
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!
May an elephant caress you with his toes!
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose!
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!
I was way behind, one day, to catch a train
The taxi driver said, "We'll make it, just the same"
A speed cop made it with us
And, as he wrote out the ticket
I stood by, politely, waiting for my change
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!
May an elephant caress you with his toes!
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose!
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!
May an elephant caress you with his toes!
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!
Spied a beggar man with rags upon his feet
Took a penny from my pocket
In his tin cup, I did drop it
And I heard him say, as I made my retreat
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!
May an elephant caress you with his toes!
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose!
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!
My laundryman is really on his toes
Found a hundred dollar bill among my clothes
When he called me, I came runnin'
Gave him back his dime for phonin'
And I heard him say, as I turned to go
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!
May an elephant caress you with his toes!
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose!
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!
I was way behind, one day, to catch a train
The taxi driver said, "We'll make it, just the same"
A speed cop made it with us
And, as he wrote out the ticket
I stood by, politely, waiting for my change
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!
May an elephant caress you with his toes!
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose!
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!
May an elephant caress you with his toes!
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!
