Nightengale Blues

 He said he was expert in making a nest
But look at the place! It's such a mess! 
Got eggs on the way, I need some rest

     I've got the Nightingale Bluuuuuuues

Rock-a-bye three babies in our treetop
They show me their tonsils whenever I stop
So I'm hunting for worms until I drop

    I've got the Nightingale Bluuuuuuues

Tried to teach the kids to sing real sweet
But our son says “Coo coo” instead of “Tweet tweet”
What the neighbours are saying I won't repeat

    I've got the Nightingale Bluuuuuuuues

I'm not a nurse I'm a nightingale 
And my name's not Florence, but I'll never quail
So that's my life, I've sung you my tale

    I've got the Nightingale Bluuuuuuuues
