Budgie Song John Williamson

Well it cost me thirty bucks to fix my budgie
When the little blighter only cost me five
The veterinary surgeon saw me coming
But I had to keep my feathered friend alive;

He was shaking on his perch, the kids were crying
The family gathered round his little cage
I said I think it's time we got a new one
That's when the family went into a rage

Oh, the waiting room ponged like a rat house
With heart worms and lung worms and lice
And a Persian had her eye on the shoebox
I suppose she thought our budgie might be nice

Well the bird shit on the veterinary surgeon
I heard him say the dirty little chick
Guess he wondered why I didn't use my brains
And hit him over the head with a brick

[Chorus]
Oh antibiotics for his color
Two drops a day on his beak
Some powder on the nose for his feathers
And clean out his cage twice a week
