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 ev'rywhere

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



Oh remember my darling

When spring is in the air

And the bald headed birds

Are whisp'ring ev'rywhere

You can see them walking

Southward in their dirty underwear

That's 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



Oh remember my darling

When spring is in the air

And the bald headed birds

Are whisp'ring ev'rywhere

You can see them walking

Southward in their dirty underwear

That's Tennessee Bird walk
