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
