Flightless birds

Lyrics: James Little/Martin Adams Music: James Little/Martin Adams Who wrote the rule that said a thing with feathers absolutely has to fly? (Lie) (Why must they fly?) Some creatures have two wings that flap But you won't find them up there in the sky (Try, try, try) (They're not up there in the sky) Gravity, they don't defy They'll never soar, won't even try (Well~) Have you heard? (Have you heard?) About the flightless bird? (About the flightless bird?) With wings that flap they've been supplied But after that, things went awry Well, have you heard? (Have you heard?) About the flightless bird? (About the flightless bird?) They're quite content there on the ground To see them don't look up, look down (Ostrich, kiwi, penguin, emu) They all can't fly! (Let's play a little kazoo!) Who wrote the rule that said a thing with feathers absolutely has to fly? (Lie) (Why must they fly?)
