Dodo Blues

«Hey Bob, Hey Bob!
Said what’s that ol' bird you got up there
In that cage?»
«Www, why this here, is a ole' Dodo bird»
«A Dodo bird?»
«Sure, ain’t you never heard of a Dodo bird before?»
«Nope.
I ain’t never even seen one before»
«Well that’s maybe 'cause this the last one in existence»
«Said the last one in where?»
«Well it’s the last one in the world, see?»
«So what you doin' with it then?»
«well I’m just trying to make some money, now 'cause you see this
Here is an ole' …well it’s a a a ol'…singin' Dodo bird.»
«Oh that’s a singin' Dodo bird ay?»
«That's right.»
«Said what you doin' down there ole' Dodo bird?»
«Well I’m just sittin' down here,.
(cough) I’m just sittin' down
This cage gonna sing you a tune.»
«Well let’s hear it then.»
Nothing, nothing can be right
When everything is wrong
Nothing can be wrong when I’m walking with my baby
I wish that I was, I said
Nothing, nothing can be right
When everything is wrong
Nothing can be wrong when I’m walking with my baby
I wish that I was
My baby quit me for a long tall handsome man
With something I ain’t got
Nothing can be wrong when I’m walking with my baby
When I’m not, I feel so lonesome
Nothing, nothing can be right
When everything is wrong
Nothing can be wrong when I’m walking with my baby
I wish that I was, I said
Nothing, nothing can be right
When everything is wrong
Nothing can be wrong when I’m walking with my baby
I wish that I was
Any time that I telephone
She don’t return my call
If I can’t smile when I feel blue
Man I’d never smile at all, bee-bop-a-dee-boo
Nothing, nothing can be right
When everything is wrong
Nothing can be wrong when I’m walking with my baby
I wish that I was, I said
Nothing, nothing can be right
When everything is wrong
Nothing can be wrong when I’m walking with my baby
I wish that I was, wrong
