parrot fashion love

sitting on the veranda

with my old girl miranda

5 o'clock shadows soft in the gloom

in love after a fashion

we're broke

spent all our passion

9 o'clock and we're off to our room

coming like a habit

coming like a ritual

the same old tete-a-tete in your dreamy feather-bed

you give lessons in parrot fashion love

the same old tete-a-tete in your dreamy feather-bed

you give lessons in parrot fashion love

drunk and disabled we're both under the table

with the crumbs

in the doldrums we play

good loving and laughter

we both know what we're after

and there don't seem a lot left to say

coming like a habit

coming like a ritual

the same old tete-a-tete in your dreamy feather-bed

you give lessons in parrot fashion love

the same old tete-a-tete in your dreamy feather-bed

you give lessons in parrot fashion love

polly want a cracker

polly want a cracker

the same old tete-a-tete in your dreamy feather-bed

you give lessons in parrot fashion love

the same old tete-a-tete in your dreamy feather-bed

you give lessons in parrot fashion love

love

love

love. the same old monotone

you're gonna wind up on your own

you learned your lesson

no more parrot fashion love

parrot fashion love

love

love

love
