I'm your on-ly friend
I'm not your on-ly friend
But I'm a lit-tle glow-ing friend
But real-ly I'm not ac-tual-ly your friend
But I am
REFRAIN
Blue ca-nar-y in the out-let by the light switch
Who watch-es ov-er you
Make a lit-tle bird-house in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the on-ly bee in your bon-net
Make a lit-tle bird-house in your soul
I have a se-cret to tell
From my e-lec-tri-cal well
It's a sim-ple mes-sage and I'm leav-ing
out the whist-les and bells
So the room must lis-ten to me
Fi-li-bust-er vi-gi-lant-ly
My name is blue ca-na-ry one note spelled L- I- T -E
My stor-y's in-fi-nite
Like the Long-ines Symph-o-nette it does-n't rest
REFRAIN
Blue ca-nar-y in the out-let by the light switch
Who watch-es ov-er you
Make a lit-tle bird-house in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the on-ly bee in your bon-net
Make a lit-tle bird-house in your soul
I'm your on-ly friend
I'm not your on-ly friend
But I'm a lit-tle glow-ing friend
But real-ly I'm not ac-tual-ly your friend
But I am
There's a pic-ture op-po-site me
Of my pri-mi-tive an-ces-try
Which stood on rock-y shores and
kept the beach-es ship-wreck free
Though I re-spect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
Af-ter kill-ing Ja-son off and count-less
scream-ing Ar-go-nauts
Blue-bird of friend-li-ness
Like guar-di-an an-gels its al-ways near
REFRAIN
Blue ca-nar-y in the out-let by the light switch
Who watch-es ov-er you
Make a lit-tle bird-house in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the on-ly bee in your bon-net
Make a lit-tle bird-house in your soul
(and while you're at it
Keep the night-light on in-side the
Bird-house in your soul)
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the on-ly bee in your bon-net
Make a lit-tle bird-house in your soul
(and while you're at it)
(keep the night-light on in-side the)
(bird-house in your soul)
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the on-ly bee in your bon-net
Make a lit-tle bird-house in your soul
(and while you're at it)
(keep the night-light on in-side the)
(bird-house in your soul)
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the on-ly bee in your bon-net
Make a lit-tle bird-house in your soul
