BIRDHOUSE IN YOUR SOUL - They Might Be Giants
Standard Tuning (EADGBe)
[BRIDGE]
I m your only friend, I m not your only friend
But I m a little glowing friend
But really I m not actually your friend, but I am
[CHORUS]
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
[VERSE]
I have a secret to tell from my electrical well
It s a simple message and I m leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me, filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary one note spelled L-I-T-E
[PRE-CHORUS]
My storys infinite
Like the longines symphonette it doesn t rest
[CHORUS]
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
[SOLO]
[BRIDGE]
I m your only friend, I m not your only friend
But I m a little glowing friend
But really I m not actually your friend, but I am
[VERSE]
Theres a picture opposite me of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot, I d be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and countless screaming argonauts
[PRE-CHORUS]
Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels its always near
[CHORUS]
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
While youre at it, keep the nightlight on inside
The birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your (soul)
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
