Birdhouse in Your Soul

June 20, 2010 Bird House Feeder

My own arrangement of “Birdhouse in Your Soul” by They Might Be Giants on a whim to stave off the madness of the vampire schedule. Also, I don’t know when I became Mr. Rogers but this apparently happened at some point. Enjoy! LYRICS I’m your only friend, I’m not your ONLY friend, But I’m a little glowing friend, Well REALLY I’m not ACTUALLY your friend, but I am: (Chorus) Blue canary in the outlet by the lightswitch, Who watches over you! Make a little birdhouse in your soul. Not to put too fine a point on it: Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet. Make a little birdhouse in your soul. I have a secret to tell, From my electrical well, It’s a simple message and I’m leaving out the whistles and bells. So the room must listen to me, Filibuster diligently. My name is Blue Canary! One not spelled: LITE. Blue bird of happiness! Like a guardian angel thats Always near. (Chorus) There’s a picture opposite me, Of my primitive ancestry, Who sat on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free. And while I respect that a lot, I’d be fired if that were my job, After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts. My story’s infinite! Like the Longines Symphonette, It doesn’t sleep. (Chorus) While you’re at it, leave the night light on inside the birdhouse in your soul. (Chorus) While you’re at it, leave the night light on inside the birdhouse in your soul. Not to put too fine a point on it, Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet! Make a little birdhouse in your soul …
