Bluebirds love their special houses, and they're not afraid to be rather snobby about it.
lyrics
We’re the birds with the most refined taste
All of our homes must be perfectly placed
You gotta build me a house that’s the best
Because we won’t stand for any old nest
Some birds gather branches and twigs
And others get in the dirt and dig
They work all day without any rest
But we get the humans to build our nests!
Chorus
Look up in the trees
Up there in the breeze
Even the fleas can’t jump there...it’s true!
Baby, we’ve got houses
Baby, we’ve got houses
How about you?
We’re the envy of the birds, the envy of the forest
They want our houses; they want to be us
We know we’re picky, but we know we’re the best
And we won’t stand for any old nest
Chorus
Look up in the trees
Up there in the breeze
Even the fleas can’t jump there...it’s true!
Baby, we’ve got houses
Baby, we’ve got houses
How about you?
