Song: Flamingo Baby
Artist: Violent Femmes
Album: Why Do Birds Sing?
Transcribed by Ian Strung
intro: C
C
Yeah, you're a flamingo, you stand on one leg
FC
you're a flamingo baby, you hatched from an egg
FG
Well, you hold your foot up so delicately over the sea
CFC
And when it comes down it comes down on me
C
I used to want to hump you, I used to want to rock and roll
FC
I was attracted to your gracefulness but then surprise took its toll
FG
Now I guess I'd better go out now and find something new
CFC
And all I'm left with is a craving for some flamingo stew
(solo)
C
Now beauty's in the gutter, and loveliness is off her throne
FC
In the eyes of the beholder he's gone and now he feels kind of alone
FG
But this feeling is the kind that will always shortly pass
CFC
I'm gonna find myself another bird and roll on down the grass
(repeat first verse)
