The Bald Eagle Lyrics by Vera Johnson

Bald Eagle

0

There's a noble brown and white bird, they say
The national emblem of the USA
The big bald eagle, so bold and free
But I wish that he wouldn't shit on me
That's a sad little chorus
They sang in Vietnam
Watching bombers deliver
Explosives and napalm
And when a plane swoops lower
Like some predatory bird
The people shouted a warning
"Here comes another turd"
There's a noble brown and white bird, they say
The national emblеm of the USA
The big bald eaglе, so bold and free
But I wish that he wouldn't shit on me
Now they've reason to sing it
Out there in Ottawa
Nixon brought in a surcharge
And quickly made it law
And when Trudeau and Benson
Together began to cry
The eagle launched an offensive
And hit them in the eye
There's a noble brown and white bird, they say
The national emblem of the USA
The big bald eagle, so bold and free
But I wish that he wouldn't shit on me
Then they sang on Amchitka
And all across BC
Fearing Cannikin threatened
The land and air and sea
They pointed out the danger
And pleaded with him to stop
The eagle prepared his answer
And then he let it drop
There's a noble brown and white bird, they say
The national emblem of the USA
The big bald eagle, so bold and free
But I wish that he wouldn't shit on me
