Birdhouse In Your Soul Lyrics

    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

    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

    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
    My story's infinite
    Like the longines symphonette it doesn't rest

    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

    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

    There's 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
    Bluebird of friendliness
    Like guardian angels its always near

    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

    (and while you're 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 (and while you're at it)
    Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
    Make a little birdhouse in your soul (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 (and while you're at it)
    Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
    Make a little birdhouse in your soul (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




    Notes

    The dial-a-song version has the following significantly altered lyrics:

    Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
    He 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

    I have a secret to tell
    Out when you're all by yourself
    There's a time when even you get up and leave your nothing to dwell
    I don't want to talk about that
    And no one listens to that
    But for the one who does, and she's the one you worry about
    Don't you say anything
    If you have anything to do with it

    Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
    He 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

    I'd like to cover the earth
    With a fresh-baked yummy dessert
    People couldn't live in it, but i think it's worth the money and hurt
    'cause i couldn't tolerate
    All the empty places in the world

    Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
    He 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

    Make a little birdhouse in your soul

    I don't feel thirty
    Give me something to write on
    I don't feel three hundred
    Give me something to write on
