Blackbird and the Magpie

Blackbird and the Magpie - Al Lewis

I'm a restless bird and I'm

Just trying to catch my flight

But it seems these wings are always

Buckling from all of my weight

And no matter how I try

I just can't get myself back home

So I'm hoping I'm never alone

'Cause I'd rather be the blackbird

Than have to be the magpie

'Cause the blackbird is singing the song

When the magpie never knows where he belongs

What's the use in flying now

When all we do is keeping falling down

There is something to be said for trying

Even if we never get a flew ground

And no matter how I try

I just can't get off soling ground

So I'm hoping someday I will find

'Cause I'd rather be the blackbird

Than have to be the magpie

I'd rather be the blackbird

Than have to be the magpie

'Cause the blackbird is singing the song

When the magpie never knows where he belongs

What does he care if he's never loved

The magpie's heart is made of hardest stuff

Yeah why should he care if he's never loved

The magpie's heart is made of hardest stuff

Yeah why should he care if he's never loved

The magpie's heart is made of hardest stuff

Than this oh than this

Oh than this

Oh than this

'Cause I'd rather be the blackbird

Than have to be the magpie

I'd rather be the blackbird

Than have to be the magpie

'Cause the blackbird is singing the song

When the magpie never knows where

Where he belongs

I'm a restless bird and I

Just trying to catch my flight
