I'VE GOT PARROTS IN MY BELFRY

...Shock shock shock shock...
...Live live live live live live live live...
...Live live live live live live live live...

(Narrator One)

Greetings to you all
Allow me to take you on a journey of the mind.
Cross land, through sea, the sky
Let us tread the paths of time
Meet my accompany-ists: The Lalas two and three
"La la la la la la la..."

Four stories shall I tell
Adventures you shall see
Tales of wonder that the parrots in my belfry
Daily tell to me
...And so it begins

(Verse One)

And did you hear about the man who went to the city
He uttered the words "I live within in"
He stretched his body like chewing gum
And followed his voice through his own ears
All that remained was a pulsating brain
(Disguised as a walnut)

La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

(Chorus A)

I've got parrots in my belfry
They chatter all day long
I'd gladly free them through my nose or ears
But they're nestling in the rootlets of my tongue
...nestling in the rootlets of my tongue

(Verse Two)

And did you hear about the man who went to sea
Dressed in drag in a coracle that leaked
By mermaids now - his nipples duly tweaked
And as he rode 'neath the bellies of whales
fills turned to grills in the ocean's briny deep
He could be heard to cry:

"Gang way...
Beep beep beep beep"

La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

(Chorus)

I've got parrots in my belfry
They chatter all day long
I'd gladly free them through my nose or ears
But they're nestling in the rootlets of my tongue
...nestling in the rootlets of my tongue


And did you hear about the man who flew to the sky
In a very special cheese an onion pie
To look upon the earth with a splendiferationous telescopic eye
The lense did blend with his only friend
Who spoke a rainbow lie
He could not leave
Would not believe in rather sad goodbyes

(Chorus B)

He's got parrots in his belfry
(Shine on like a sparkler)
They chatter all day long
(Sparkly, sparkly)
He'd gladly free them through his nose or ears,
But they're nestled in the rootlets of his tongue
...nestled in the rootlets of his tongue
...Of his tongue...

(Narration Two)

And so you see, your imagination splutters colours,
sounds, tastes and feelings all the time
We could breathe or weave or eat them;
run them backwards like a puzzle; it's divine
But there's just one story left
(La la la la la)

A tick , a tock - Let's make it stop !
..... Slip into your dream

(Verse Four)

And do you know about the man who travelled back in time
Grew tiny claws and an elongated spine
In Poe's Vondivottimittis, the towering spire he climbed
He stopped the clock
Caused a shock
And uttered the words:

"Now my life truly begins..."

La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

(Chorus C)

I've got parrots in my belfry
There are many different kinds
I think I'd really like to keep them
'Cos they're nestling in the rootlets of my mind
Tingling on my tongue
nestling in the rootlets of my mind
Weaving through this song
Giggling through the stories that they find


Giggle giggle giggle giggle....
