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.
