BIRD, YOU KNOW I LOVE YA
(Charles Blackwell)


Mike Sarne - 1962





I'd like to walk you down the aisle, but I can't find time
I'd like to honeymoon in style, but I 'aven't got a dime
Don't get me wrong, you know how much I need ya
Ev'rything I do, I do to please ya

Bird, you know I love ya
Bird, you know I need ya

'Bout that dough you lent to me a month ago
Done my best, but now it's getting kinda low
Luck's not on my side, the dogs I backed fell over
Soon you'll be my bride, please tide me over

Bird, you know I love ya
Bird, you know I need ya

But of course I wanna marry you, oh yes, I wanna marry you
Just as soon as I can get a weekend free
We'll be married in the Spring, I'll getcha ev'ry little thing
And just for you and me the bells will ring

Bird, ya know 'ow 'ard I'd work if I 'ad a job
All I needs a break to earn a couple o' bob
You know that I'm weak, I gotta watch my ticker
Just lend me a quid, I'll see the Vicar

Bird, you know I love ya
Oh, bird, you know I need ya
Bird, you know I love ya
Bird, you know I need ya
