Flamingo Baby Lyrics by Violent Femmes

Flamingo Baby Lyrics

    You're a flamingo
    You stand on one leg
    You're a flamingo baby
    You hatched from an egg
    Well you hold your foot up
    So delicately over the sea
    And when it comes down
    It comes down on me
    Well it used to want to hump you
    I used to want to rock and roll
    I was attracted to your gracefulness
    But your surprise sure took its toll
    Now i guess i'd better go out now
    Gonna try to find something new
    And all i'm left with is this craving
    For some flamingo stew
    Now the beauty's in the gutter
    The loveliness is off her throne
    In the eyes of the beholder it's gone
    And now he feels kind of alone
    But this feeling it's the kind that will shortly pass
    I'm gonna find myself another bird
    And roll on down the grass
