Lyrics

Well, I like to tell you about a friend of mine
His name is Johnny and his doing fine
He's got a hobby that ain't hard at all
and he is doing winter, summer, spring and fall
He's a birder and he's ready to go
Go Johnny! Go Johnny! Go! Go! Go!

Going to a Bird Party x2

January 1st, there is snow in the backyard
Johnny's in the kitchen making suet of pork lard
A feeder full of food that the garden birds need
Peanutbutter, raisins and sunflower seeds
Birds everywhere like a carnival
Goldfinch, Blue Jay and Cardinal

Going to a Bird Party x2

Well, it's 10 below and snow and a hell of a weather
You can't make it a bird if you can't see a feather
So he's checking out the news on the local bird server
He's risking his job to go birding much further
He calls in sick and packs his old snow shoe set
There's an Ivory Gull in Massachusetts

Going to a Bird Party x2

My friend Johnny is a birding legend
his eyes are sharp and his hearing is God sent
I don’t care about religion but Johnny is my God
He’s got no music only birdsongs on his iPod
You see him on high island on a warbler fallout
Then he is off to Peru for another fortnight

Going to a Bird Party.

My friend Johnny is not like real men
His life list’s more important than pretty women
Johnny was married but he ain’t married now.
When he took off to Attu his wife said ciao, ciao ciao
He learnt his lesson and he learnt it right
you don’t go twitching on your wedding night

Now going to a Bird party
Going to a Bird Party……
