Lyrics Pretty Bird - Jemaine Clement

Pretty Bird

I was striking suave, ambitious
Feet to beak, so birdylicious
Now I’m vile, I am villainous and vicious
Oh, and malicious
I had it all, a TV show, women too
I was tall, over 1 foot 2
Then they got a pretty parakeet to fill my shoes
That’s why I am so evil, why I do what I do
(He was a superstar) So young and vital
(He's nasty) A South American Idol
(He's a suspicious bird) Who said that about me?
(A very vicious bird) I’ll have you rotisseried
I was the king of telenovelas
The envy of all the other fellas
Then I was pushed out
For a Pretty Polly parakeet from Paraguay
They called Patricious
Common Paraguayan name
(He's a nasty bird) I’m insidious
(He's ghastly) Oh, I’m hideous
(He was a real macaw) I’m a cockatoo
(An obscene bird) Yes, that word’s true
I’m a feathery freak with a beak, a bird murderer
You think you’re better than me, I never heard of ya
I’m evil, I fill your cheese ball with weevils
I poop on people and I blame it on the seagulls
It was him
(He's a nasty bird) I’m invincible
(He's ghastly) I’m unminceable
I’m unwashable, unrinseable
Like an abandoned school I have no principle
All of you Brazilian birds
All 18 million birds
I’ll tell you what I’m going to do
I’m going to make you…
Shut up now, shut up, it’s just me —
I will make you ugly too
Did you hear how dramatic that was
With the end?
