Violent Femmes Flamingo Baby Lyrics

intro: C
Yeah, 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
I used to want to hump you, I used to want to rock and roll
I was attracted to your gracefulness but then surprise took its toll
Now I guess I'd better go out now and find something new
And all I'm left with is a craving for some flamingo stew
(solo)
Now beauty's in the gutter, and loveliness is off her throne
In the eyes of the beholder he's gone and now he feels kind of alone
But this feeling is the kind that will always shortly pass
I'm gonna find myself another bird and roll on down the grass
(repeat first verse)
