Jemaine Clement Pretty Bird lyrics

I was striking suave, ambitious
Feet to beak, so birdylicious
Now I'm vial, I am villain and vicious
Oh, and malicious

I had it all, a TV show, women too
I was just whole, 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

He was 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

I was the king of telling novellas
The envy of all the other fellows
Then I was pushed out
For a Pretty Polly parakeet from Paraguay
They called Patricious
Common Paraguayan name

He's a nasty bird, I'm insidious
He's nasty, oh, I'm hideous
He was a real macaw, I'm a cockatoo
An obscene bird, yes, that word's true


I'm a feathery freak with a beak, a bird murderer
You think you're better than me, I never heard of ya
I'm evil, I fill your cheese ball with weavils
I poop on people and I blame on the seagulls
It was him

He's a nasty bird, I'm invincible
He's nasty, I'm unminceable
I'm unwashable, unrinceaple
Like an abandoned school I have no principal

All of you Brazilian birds
All 18 million birds
I'll tell you what I'm going to do
I'm going to make you

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?
