The Lyrics

I shot your parrot,
(but I did not shoot your parakeet, oh no)
I shot your parrot
(but I didn't shoot no parakeet)
flyin round in my home town,
I had to bring them down
they say I mass murdered tweety
for the life of a parakeet
for the life of a parakeet

I shot your parrot
(but I swear it was on my fence)
I shot your parrot
(and they say it is a capital offence)

the parrot came my way one day
and it said some nasty thing, yeah
all of a sudden, I hear "awk! you're down!
squawking to put me down,
so I shot I shot it down
but I swear

I shot your parrot,
(but I did not shoot your parakeet, oh no)
I shot your parrot
(but I didn't shoot no parakeet)

reflexes got the better of me
and that bird is now history
every day, a parrot goes to hell
and one day the parakeet gets out
yes one day the keeter will get our
I shot your parrot,
(but I did not shoot your parakeet, oh no)
I shot your parrot
(but I didn't shoot no parakeet)

If you had credited this to the Bob Marley version, and tossed in a "because I was high on ganja" reference, I would have given it 555. It�s still a 544 cracker for Polly though. :-)

I'm tempted to say this one is "for the birds," but instead it will "fly like an eagle."

not bad. I especially liked the line I shot your parrot (but I swear it was on my fence) even if it doesn't quite fit..
