THE BLUE FLAMINGO - Kurt Chaboyer

Little brothers, gather round
I got to show you this thing that I found
It comes from nature, but not
It canʼt be bought
Come on and try it on.

Out the window, at night
If you see a blue streak of light,
Youʼll know that the word is a bird.

The Blue Flamingo.
Sheʼs blue but she flies
Over night.
You’re shedding shingles
What at first may not seem right.

Like little monkeys
Playing round
They seem to like to get up off the ground.
They may hit the dirt, they seem to like to get hurt.
Oh, invincible fun.

Thumbsuckers, circling round
Want me to show them this thing that I found.
You cup it in your hand,
Your fingers understand,
Yeah, just what is afoot.
