F C
He sang so loud, sang so clear
E7 Am
I was afraid all the neighbours would hear
F C
so I invited him in just to reason with him
E7 Am
I promised I wouldn't do it again
F
But he sang louder and louder inside the house
C
and now I couldn't get him out
E7
so I trapped him under a cardboard box
Am
and stood on him to make it stop
F
I picked up the bird and above the din I said
C N.C.
That's the last song you'll ever sing
F
Held him down, broke his neck
C
Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget
E7 Am
F C E7 Am
But in my dreams began to creep
F C E
that old familiar tweet, tweet, tweet
[Chorus]
E7
I opened my mouth to scream and shout
Am
I waved my arms and flapped about
E7
but I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
Am
Couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
E7
I opened my mouth to scream and shout
Am
Waved my arms and flapped about
E7
but I couldn't scream, I couldn't shout
Am F C
The song was coming from my mouth
E7 Am
from my mouth
F C
*from my mouth
E7 Am
from my mouth*
F C
from my mouth
E7 Am
from my mouth
F C
*from my mouth
E7 Am
from my mouth*
Am F C
from my mouth
E7 Am
from my mouth
F C
from my mouth
E7 Am
from my mouth
F C E7 Am
F C E7 Am
F C E7 Am
F
