lyrics

It may seem weird
That there’s a little birdie nest in my bird
But the songs that she sings are so clear
In my ear
Sometimes it brings me to tears

It may seem bizarre
That there’s a monkey living in my car
But he likes to go fast and go far
He plays electric guitar
Like a star

And when we jam
We make a sound like nobody can
The bird the monkey and me are a band
And we’re in demand

The bird the monkey and me
We are the animal three, oh
The furry feathery trio, oh oh oh
The bird the monkey and me

It may seem crazy
That we play absolutely free
That we never know the song or the key
We find the melody
Intuitively

And when we jam
We make a sound like nobody can
The bird the monkey and me are a band
Now let’s jam

The bird the monkey and me
We are the animal three, oh
The furry feathery trio, oh oh oh
The bird the monkey and me

We needed a drummer and a bass player, too
We held auditions at the local zoo
The two toed sloth held the low end groove
We gave the sticks to the kangaroo

The bird the monkey and me
We are the animal three, oh
The furry feathery trio, oh oh oh
The bird the monkey and me
The bird the monkey and me
The bird the monkey and me
The bird the monkey and me, oh oh oh oh
The bird the monkey and me
The sloth and kangaroo are in, too
The bird the monkey and me
