Frederick Roussel Saw A Bird

All these rich types that pretend to be poor
But there's no wolf knockin at your door
I wanna look down and be the boss
But all I can do is just look across
Filthy rich or dirt poor
Whata you need to be filthy for
Twinkle twinkle little star
Speak the Queen's English and you'll go far
Saw a bird with a yellow bill
Landed on my window sill
I asked the bird where it was from
And it put a fake cockney accent on
There's quite a lot of tension in society now
And I don't think the answer is Chairman Mao
More immigration, I'm a slob
I wish you'd come down here and do my job
I'm quite fond of my bath
Fake little rebels make me laugh
Some wear diamonds, some wear rags
Dress like a savage? You must be mad!
Saw a bird with a yellow bill
Landed on my window sill
I asked the bird where it was from
And it put a fake cockney accent on
I saw that bird not long ago
When I wrote this song don't you know
I started to sing but the bird said Why
Do you use that accent every time?
Saw a bird with a yellow bill
Landed on my window sill
I asked the bird where it was from
And it put a fake cockney accent on
