Little blackbird up on a perch,
Can you fly to me?
I need a companion on my shoulder
will you be?
I'm not scary as they say
just a little strange
don't be afraid
little blackbird
I won't hurt you
Lies I may tell you
But harmless they be
I may tell you false thoughts
And tell you to believe only me
But how harmful can a straw man as me be?
Everyone else has joined on my shoulder
And they are alive and well
Come join them little bird,
For if you do not
You will be shunned from this place
From your relatives and friends
You are alone, my friend
No one else to back you up
So either you join or you live in solitare
without us all
What will it be my dear friend?
Hurry will you please
This straw is getting itchy
And I cannot bend my knees
This stake holding me up is
Not very strong
So come now fella
Move along,
Move along.
