Before this thread dies, I have to offer some free association music

And I thank the person who listed Jefferson Airplane, White Bird. I knew
there was something there, but I couldn't quite remember....

Thank you in advance for indulging me. This was a fun exercise! Please excuse
any duplications with earlier posts....

May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose

Suite Judy Blue Eyes
Chestnut-brown ca-na-ry,___ru-by throa-ted spar-row,
sing a song,___ don't be long,__thrill me to the mar-row.
Voi-ces of the an-gels,___ ring a-round the moon-light;
Ask-ng me, said she's so free, how can you catch the spar-row.

Kookaburra sits in the old oak tree
Merry merry king of the woods is he

Morning has broken - Cat Stevens:
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the world

Somewhere over the rainbow
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow,
Why oh why can't I?

Used in: Song of the South
Music: Allie Wrubel, Lyrics: Ray Gilbert
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay,
My, oh, my, what a wonderful day.
Plenty of sunshine headin' my way,
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!

Mister Bluebird's on my shoulder,
It's the truth, it's "actch'll"
Everything is "satisfactch'll."

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay,
Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!

The Lark Ascending - Vaughn Williams

I'm So Lonesome (I Could Cry)
Hank Williams
Hear that lonesome whooperwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is runnning low
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves turn brown and die
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Bluebird of Happiness
Be like I (sic), hold your head up high,
Till you find a bluebird of happiness.
You will find greater peace of mind
Knowing there's a bluebird of happiness.

And when he sings to you,
Though you're deep in blue,
You will see a ray of light creep through,
And so remember this, life is no abyss,
Somewhere there's a bluebird of happiness.

Anne Murray - Snowbird

Canary in a Coalmine - The Police

Beach Boys - California Saga/The Beaks of Eagles
includes verse by Robinson Jeffers

The she-eagle is older than I: she was here when the fires of eighty-five
raged on these ridges, She was lately fledged and dared not hunt ahead of
them, but ate scorched meat. The world has changed in her time; humanity has
multiplied, But not here; men's hopes and thoughts and customs have changed,
their powers are enlarged, their powers and their follies have become
fantastic......

(four calling birds, three french hens..)

And I assume the flying purple eater was not a bird?

So that's my swan song....Okay that's enough .... : )
