I tripped today about seventeen times
I was walking down the street saying, "Keep in line, keep in line"
I wandered for about 17 feet
Found my destination, it was right across the street
The park was nice and the bums were chilling
A dime for advice, that was you, I was willing
To hear a chill bum having something to say
Besides, here's a cup, give me money while I lay
Perched up in a tree, you spread your wings
And then chose me, you see
'Cos I was feeling fine
Pigeon Penelope
Eventually you will leave me alone
It's just a matter of time
Eyed the bird, then my friend appeared
He said, "Imani how you feeling? 'Cos you acting kinda weird"
Mind went blank, I couldn't explain
Came up with something fast, to prove that I was sane
"It's that thing above me, not you, sir, don't worry"
A bit disturbed, left in a hurry
Handshake, kiss on the cheek
"You need some time, I'll see you in a week"
Perched up in a tree, you spread your wings
And then chose me, you see
But I was feeling fine
Pigeon Penelope
Eventually you will leave me alone
It's just a matter of time
Down came your little package
Knocked me right off my feet, yeah
If I could, I swear I'd kill you
Sugar cubes sure taste sweet with a pigeon
Perched up in a tree, you spread your wings
And then chose me, you see
But I was feeling fine
Pigeon Penelope
Eventually you will leave me alone
It's just a matter of time
