There's a bluebird in my heart that Wants to get out But I'm too tough for him, I say, stay in there, I'm not going To let anybody see You. There's a bluebird in my heart that Wants to get out But I pour whiskey on him and inhale Cigarette smoke And the whores and the bartenders And the grocery clerks Never know that He's In there. There's a bluebird in my heart that Wants to get out But I'm too tough for him, I say, Stay down, do you want to mess Me up? You want to screw up the Works? You want to blow my book sales in Europe? There's a bluebird in my heart that Wants to get out But I'm too clever, I only let him out At night sometimes When everybody's asleep. I say, I know that you're there, So don't be Sad. Then I put him back, But he's singing a little In there, I haven't quite let him Die And we sleep together like That With our Secret pact And it's nice enough to Make a man Weep, but I don't Weep, do You?
