I'm livin' scared
To the story about a viral blight that's sweeping the planet
And on three and on six and every TV channel's "bird flu will kill"
Inside and out, bird
flu hits Laos, and it migrates the country to cover Europe
And suddenly bird flu is here in your spouse and everybody around
Cause we ain't got no free vaccination...

Bird flu (I believe I will die)
(Raining down from the sky, hiding in chicken pie)
(Does it help if you fry? Maybe yes, but say I)
(I believe I will die)

Flu's in the pelicans and in the loons
Flu's in the seagulls most everywhere
Flu's in the ducks and all the eagles too
I have a parrot, and it caught the flu
Flu's in the condors and the vultures too
A worse plot Hitchcock could never devise
Flu in the geese and many penguins do
Flu's in roadrunner that's Wile's prize

Bird flu (I believe I will die)
(A fate you can't deny 'cause the disease is sly)
(Does it sneak in your eye? I wish I was more spry
(Then maybe I won't die)

Inside and out, bird
Flu glides past all our bullets and missiles
Invading Time Square killing pigeons by the score
And if it becomes humanities curse
Then CNN will fine'ly take truth's side...

Bird flu (I believe I will die)
(All the witches will cry when their owls dead lie)
(And the ostriches, shy, find their place in the sky)
(I believe I will die)
