That young bird's happy
It sings all night
Though a sock is on its head
It lives inside a brand new cage
Flies about when it has rage
It had a dream it was a lamppost

Darn the socks off Budgerigar
Flies around with socks on its head
Doesn't realize that that's its bed
And now it's sneezing
And hurting itself from this
You could do things to ease its pain
But then it might fly the coop again
Open up the door, seems to cry
If you open it
Flies outside

It sees road in you
And inside me too
Those starlight mints are sweet
Good to eat
But the bird might choke on it
So eat them all
Throw the cheese balls
And it'll fly away
Darn the socks off Budgerigar
I swear it thinks it is an owl
All night it thinks it's on the prowl
It is annoying
I feel like I'm its mother
Oh why do pets cause me such pain
Might be a dinner for my kitty
Shucks
Noone likes all its chirping
It's the only sock that fits
Don't think it'll get out of it
Darn the socks off of Budgerigar

Got a flying sock as a pet
I'll find a song by the Byrds
As it turns turns turns round
It can't see well
With the sock
It'll do that forever and ever it seems like
Give it an hour to sleep now
I'm sure it's free as a bird
'Cause it flew out the door and i saw a turd
It got out
Little socks on its feet forever and ever

It's perched on telephone poles
Shook off the sock
It can breathe a lot better now
That it's gone right off its bod
Someone put it in the sod
It won't return as caged and owned by me

Darn the socks off Budgerigar
It's flying free over the place
Golfer got a birdie with grace
So it was injured
Someone will be its mother
Lend a wing up and ease its pain
So it will be soon flying again
Shucks, it's had a rough life so far
There are no more socks that fit
Because it has now grown out of it
Darn the socks off Budgerigar
I don't know where it is at all
But i wish it well hope it stands tall
Shucks cause like it there's no other
It would sing its funny songs
Thought of them all day and night long
Darn the socks off Budgerigar
I made so many mistakes, said I
And it left and then it made me cry
