Small Birds of Sound

Lyrics

It's the funniest thing.
It's the Funniest thing.
You never heard of a thing
Like the funniest thing.
Not funny, "ha, ha,"
But funny like I ain't never seen
Nothing like it before.
Amusing and odd,
Floating upside down
'Round the kitchen door.

With two cans and a string,
Two cans and a string,
We can talk all day about funny things
I put the can to my ear
and you tell me a thing
I can hear what you say
Then I take a turn, and tell you thing
That will brighten your day.

I'm drinking it up.
I'm drinking it up.
Gonna fill my cup.

I'm laughing up my sleeve,
At the every day, every day absurdities,
Like machines that make machines that make machines.
That won't help you keep a garden green.

They put a man on the moon, put a man on the moon,
And now I want to eat this beautiful pear with a spoon.
But they can't seem to make a label that doesn't take the skin off a pear.
It's just not fair. It's really not fair.,
Tell me, how's that fair?

I'm drinking it up.
I'm drinking it up.
Let me pour you a cup.

Clouds are funny things, trees are funny things
The beautifulest thing is a funny thing.
The funniest thing is a beautiful thing, is a beautiful thing.
I'm so happy to be with you and with me,
As we beautiful be.

I'm drinking it up.
I'm drinking it up.
Let me pour you a cup.

I'm drinking it up.
I'm drinking it up.
Wanna share a cup?

I'm drinking it up.
I'm drinking it up.
Gonna fill my cup.
