Those lyrics are from a Moody Blues song -- but I can't remember the title. Regarding the InnaGaDaDaVida mystery bird song -- is he talking about the bass notes at the beginning, or something else?

Okay Rockin' Birders......

Here's one for ya! My husband, a rockin' bass player since way back is
puzzled by the song of a bird we hear every morning. He says it's song
sounds like the very beginning of the Iron Butterfly classic
"InnaGaDaDaVida".

And here's my contribution to the list of bird songs/bird lyrics......(Let's
play "Name It and Claim It")

When the white eagle of the north is flying overhead
And the browns, reds and golds of autumn lie in the gutter dead......
