9 WOOD STORKS
Nine wood storks in the same tall tree;
Who's gonna sleep a wink? Not me.
I'm number ten, and I'm tellin' you now,
Nine wood storks make a terrible row.
Never sleep a wink 'cause they bicker all night.
Wood storks thinkin' they gotta be right.
Roost all night in a very tall tree.
Nine wood storks gonna chatter round me.
Clack-a-little-beak-a-little wood stork song;
Wood storks bickerin' all night long.
Clack-a-little-beak and would a wood stork snooze? [Uh-nhn.]
So I'm standin' here singin' these wood stork blues.
Wood stork spends his day in the flats
Lookin' for food wherever it's at.
Wood stork's food comin' slow down the chain;
Then comes a cloud, and it looks like rain.
Wood stork optimism don't come easy.
Siftin' through the mud makes you feel a little queasy.
Roost all night in a very tall tree.
Nine wood storks gonna chatter round me.
Clack-a-little-beak-a-little wood stork song;
Wood storks bickerin' all night long.
Clack-a-little-beak and would a wood stork snooze? [Uh-nhn.]
So I'm standin' here singin' these wood stork blues.
Nine wood storks in the same tall tree;
Who's gonna sleep a wink? Not me.
I'm number ten, and I'm tellin' you now,
Nine wood storks make a terrible row.
Never sleep a wink 'cause they bicker all night.
Wood storks thinkin' they gotta be right.
I'm the exception, of course, you know
Somebody's gotta be perfect, so. [Uh-nhn.]
