the ostrich - flanders & swann lyrics
chorus:
peek-a-boo, i can’t see you,
everything must be grand.
boo-ka-pee, they can’t see me,
as long as i’ve got me head in the sand.
peek-a-boo, it may be true,
there’s something in what you’ve said,
but we’ve got enough troubles in everyday life,
i just bury me head.
oh, ostrich consider hw the world we know
is trembling on the brink.
have you heard the news, may i hear your views,
will you tell me what you think.
the ostrich lifted its head from the sand,
about an inch or so;
‘you will please excuse, but disturbing news
i have no wish to know.’
[chorus]
then i noticed suddenly where we were,
i saw what time it was.
make haste, i said, it’ll be too late,
we must leave this place because….
he stuffed his wingtips into his ears;
he would not hear me speak,
and back in the soft saharan sand
he plunged his yellow beak.
[chorus]
i just bury me….
(boom)
from a sheltered oasis a mile away
i observed that dreadful scene.
and a single plume came floating down
where my ostrich friend had been.
because he could not bear the sound
of these words i had left unsaid;
‘here in this nuclear testing ground
is no place to bury your head!’
