Lyrics:Shore Leave Ornithology (Another 1950)

by Mr. Partridge

Slacks, coffee trend I could have been in the US navy Flapping grey, coffee smoke I could have been in another nineteen-fifty Where the hell were you? Rough stencil, print music Cardboard, cardboard, cardboard, cardboard, cardboard coffee Saxophone mention barbers, N.Y. The cigarette was burning, the flat shoes Stool Bongo, coffee, don't mention that black man The leather-coat was his Where was she? Could have been in the US navy Flow beating air, table-top, shoulder slung Shore leave, no sailors here Cardboard, cardboard, cardboard, cardboard Liquor slacks twisting The cigarette was burning The flat shoes, the flat shoes, the flat shoes Bird, bird, bird, bird I could have been in another nineteen-fifty Bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird Bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird I could have been in another nineteen-fifty Bird, bird, bird
