I woke up this morning, there was feathers on the floor
I looked into my bird cage, but the bird was there no more
The door that held him captive, was standing wide ajar
The cat that let's me live with him said "that's the way things are!"

Bye bye birdie - it was nice to have you here
The cat enjoyed your company, though you looked at him with fear
Bye bye birdie, it's a shame to see you go
But looking on the bright side, there's no cage to clean no more

2ND VERSE IS GUITAR SOLO NO LYRICS

I went into the local bar, to see what I could see
And on the stage a dancin', was a gal just meant for me
She had on one of those feather things, draped around her neck
I asked if she would like a drink, and she said "What the heck!"

We spent the evening dancin', and when the night was thru
She said "Honey, I like your looks, I'm comin' home with you!"
We stopped and got a twelve pack and went back to my place
The last thing I remember was some feathers in my face.

I woke up this mornin', there was feathers on the floor
I looked around my bedroom, my friend was there no more
I saw there was a note that said, "I took your cash and car."
The cat that let's me live with him said "That's the way things are!"

Bye bye birdie, it was nice to have you here
I sure enjoyed your company as we drank all my beer
Bye bye birdie, it's a shame you had to pass
But looking on the bright side, my car was out of gas!
