Flamingo Baby
Yeah, you're a flamingo
You stand on one leg
Yeah, a flamingo baby
You hatched from an egg
Well you hold your foot up
So delicately over the sea
And when it comes down
It comes down on me
Well I used to want to hump you
I used to want to rock and roll
I was attracted to your gracefulness
But your surprise sure took its toll
Now I guess I'd better go out now
Gonna try to find something new
And all I'm left with is this craving
For some flamingo stew
Now the beauty's in the gutter
The loveliness is off her throne
In the eyes of the beholder, it's gone
And now he feels kind of alone
Now that this feeling
It's the kind that will shortly pass
I'm gonna find myself another bird
Roll on down the grass
Yeah, you're a flamingo
You stand on one leg
Yeah, you're flamingo, baby
Cold hatched from an egg
Well, you hold your foot up
So delicately over the sea
And when it comes down
It comes down on me
You stand on one leg
Yeah, a flamingo baby
You hatched from an egg
Well you hold your foot up
So delicately over the sea
And when it comes down
It comes down on me
Well I used to want to hump you
I used to want to rock and roll
I was attracted to your gracefulness
But your surprise sure took its toll
Now I guess I'd better go out now
Gonna try to find something new
And all I'm left with is this craving
For some flamingo stew
Now the beauty's in the gutter
The loveliness is off her throne
In the eyes of the beholder, it's gone
And now he feels kind of alone
Now that this feeling
It's the kind that will shortly pass
I'm gonna find myself another bird
Roll on down the grass
Yeah, you're a flamingo
You stand on one leg
Yeah, you're flamingo, baby
Cold hatched from an egg
Well, you hold your foot up
So delicately over the sea
And when it comes down
It comes down on me
