| I’m Joey the Budgie, I’m a boy or a girl |
| I’m probably the most typical caged bird in the world |
| In Cranham or Hounslow I sit on my perch |
| Old Mother Nature’s left me right in the lurch |
| This is my routine: first I ponder and peck |
| I look in the mirror and I shit on the deck |
| I try to fly, I bang my head |
| I think of something creative instead |
| I ruffle my feathers and have a good scratch |
| Spend at least half an hour trying to undo my catch |
| Not as though I want to be deleted by an owl |
| I’ve got to fight this awful situation somehow |
| Poor Joey *who's a pretty boy then?* |
| Poor Joey |
| Poor Joe |
| Poor Joey |
| A bundle of joy then |
| Poor Joey *hello!* |
| How the ruddy hell does she expect me to speak |
| With half a ton of cuttlefish stuck in my beak? |
| I go into a moody, disdainfully preen |
| I’m just to upset to mutter something obscene |
| I appreciate the difficulties of owning a pet |
| Speaking as a budgie, it’s like Russian Roulette |
| I was bred for the purpose and I shouldn’t complain |
| I know you’ll forgive me when I sing this refrain |
| Poor Joey *she's a right bastard!* |
| Poor Joey |
| Poor Joe |
| Poor Joey |
| Every Christmas they try to get me plastered |
| Poor Joey *hello!* |
| Joey the Budgie, I’m a boy or a girl |
| I’m probably the most typical caged bird in the world |
| In Cranham or Hounslow I sit on my perch |
| Old Mother Nature’s left me right in the lurch |
| Poor Joey *who's a pretty boy then?* |
| Poor Joey |
| Poor Joe |
| Poor Joey |
| A bundle of joy then |
| Poor Joey *hello!* |
| Poor Joey |
| Poor Joe |
| Poor Joey |
| Poor Joe |
| Poor Joey *who's a pretty boy then?* |
| Poor Joe *hello!* |
| Poor Joey |
| Poor Joe *cheerio!* |
