Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was striking, suave, ambitious
Feet to beak, so birdylicious
Now I'm vile, I am villainous and vicious
Oh, and malicious
I had it all, a TV show, women, too
I was tall, over 1 foot 2
Then they got a pretty parakeet to fill my shoes
That's why I am so evil, why I do what I do
[Chorus]
He was a superstar
So young and vital
He's nasty
A South American Idol
He's a suspicious bird
Who said that about me?
A very vicious bird
I'll have you rotisseried
[Verse 2]
I was the king of telenovelas
The envy of all the other fellas
Then I was pushed out
For a Pretty Polly parakeet from Paraguay they called Patricious
Common Paraguayan name
[Chorus]
He's a nasty bird
I'm insidious
He's ghastly
Oh, I'm hideous
He was the real macaw
I'm a cockatoo
An obscene bird
Yes, that bit's true
[Verse 3]
I'm a feathery freak with a beak, a bird murderer
You think you're badder than me, I never heard of ya
I'm evil, I'll fill your cheese ball with weevils
I poop on people and I blame it on the seagulls
It was him
[Chorus]
He's a nasty bird
I'm invincible
He's ghastly
I'm unminceable
I'm unwashable, unrinseable
Like an abandoned school, I have no principle
[Verse 4]
All of you Brazilian birds
All 80 million birds
I'll tell you what I'm going to do
I'm going to make you
[Outro]
Shut up now, shut up, it's just me
I will make you ugly, too
Did you hear how dramatic that was
With the end?
