Lyrics
Intro - Lute instrumental
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Verse 1
Down in the castle hall the candles flickered low
She grabbed that wooden lute off the wall
Raised her chin up like a bird about to crow
Closed her eyes and started to call
The ribbons on her dress swayed left to right
The rybalts plucked their strings so sweet
Her little silver voice took flight
Right down to the princess's feet
Pre-Chorus
And everybody leaned in close
To catch a note before it goes
Chorus - She
If I only could get the wings like a birdie
I would fly quick to my dearest darling
If I only could get the wings like a birdie
I would soar on over that garden wall
Word by word now
Flying to my darling
Post-Chorus
Birdie birdie birdie
Fly fly fly
Birdie birdie birdie
Me oh my
Verse 2
The princess loved those lay songs more than gold
Her head went back and forth and back
The girl kept singing sweet and bold
Thin and clear like a forest track
Through the vocoder haze and vaporwave sky
The talking blues rolled out with a smile
The flute came drifting by and by
The talkbox hummed along a while
Pre-Chorus
And everybody held their breath
To catch a word before it left
Chorus - She
If I only could get the wings like a birdie
I would fly quick to my dearest darling
If I only could get the wings like a birdie
I would soar on over that garden wall
Word by word now
Flying to my darling
Post-Chorus
Birdie birdie birdie
Fly fly fly
Birdie birdie birdie
Me oh my
Bridge
Well now let me tell you folks the rest of the tale
She sang about the high enclosure wall
Said look my dear darling I'm a poor orphan frail
And the whole hall started to bawl
The lute kept strummin' and the gensliks rang
The princess bobbed her royal head
The little bird had found its song
And that's the story that she spread
Chorus
If I only could get the wings like a birdie
I would fly quick to my dearest darling
If I only could get the wings like a birdie
I would soar on over that garden wall
Word by word now
Flying to my darling
Outro
Birdie birdie birdie
Fly fly fly
Mm-mm-mm
Flying to my darling
Mm-mm
My darling
