Swet Shop Boys (Heems, Riz Ahmed, & Redinho) // "Birding," from Sufi La
(Ridiculous but long lyrics under the cut ☟)
Bird song, Bird song, Bird song, Bird song...
You know I'm birding, baby (birdsong), Where my binoculars at? (birdsong) I'm with the trees (birdsong), I'm looking for birds, yo! (birdsong)
I've been to Hell and back, and then Hell again; Brown Pelican, streets is where I dwell again. All you rappers on the mic sound dull, Me? I'm fly, Swallow-tailed Gull! I drop facts, call me Snapple; I'm in the sky, I'm a Boat-tailed Grackle I'm on a block like I'm coke or heroin, Fit very colorful, Tricolored Heron. I'm with your girl tucked under the duvet, She very beautiful, she like a Blue Jay. She don't like you, she says you was a peasant, She said I'm classy like a Ring-necked Pheasant. I like to talk to her and pipe her, She like a White-rumped Sandpiper. Ey yo, I asked her if she need a manager, Go out and look for her, Flame-colored Tanager.
You know I'm birding, baby (birdsong), Where my binoculars at? (birdsong) I'm with the trees (birdsong), I'm looking for birds, yo! (birdsong) You know I'm birding, baby (birdsong), Where my binoculars at? (birdsong) I'm with the trees (birdsong), I'm looking for birds...quack-quack!
Blue-winged Teal, Green-winged Teal, Up in our fields and we bumping Seal. She looks like she blush when we feeling the rush; I'm a Curve-billed Thrasher, she a Grey-cheeked Thrush. We move around the sky like we cargo, Yo, we move around the sky like a Plain-capped Starthroat. She very hippy-dippy, she a Deadhead; Shouts out Redinho, yo, he a Redhead. Plus, he sampled a bird on the tune, To me, yeah, he sounds like, yo, a Red-throated Loon, Yellow-billed Loon, Pacific Loon, maybe it's a Common or Arctic Loon. I'm eating muffins with a Nightingale; Atlantic Puffin, Montezuma Quail, Virginia Rail, California Black Rail; If you tried to rhyme bird names, you would fail! Black-footed Albatross, Cassin's Auklet, American Bittern, Brewer's Blackbird; Mountain Bluebird, Brown Booby, Indigo Bunting, Bushtit; Canvasback, Northern Cardinal, Gray Catbird, Chickadee, Chickadee; American Coot, Cormorant, Cowbird, American Crow; Common Ground Dove, Eurasian Collared Dove, Dowitcher...
That's a bird! Yo, that's a bird! This the bird song, yo, that's a bird! That's a bird! That's a bird! This the bird song, yo, that's a bird! That's a bird! Yo, that's a bird! This the bird song, yo, that's a bird! That's a bird! That's a bird! This the bird song, yo, that's a bird!
