The Blue-Footed Booby Bird
Beady eyes and pointed beak
He says "Booby", we say "Freak"
Looking strange enough to live inside a horror movie
You'll never see a bird like the blue-footed booby
If he could choose now instead
He'd prefer his tootsies red
Greedily scoffed all the fish I cooked for tea last Tuesday
You'll never see a bird like the blue-footed booby
Always he's the laughing stock
Ought to buy some long white socks
Though he tries at acting tough and rough and mean and moody
You'll never see a bird like the blue-footed booby
Will he ever get a date?
Will he ever find a mate?
Like a Disney character that's comic and cartoony
You'll never see a bird like the blue-footed booby
Standing out from any crowd
Other birds all laugh aloud
Why did Mother Nature make him wacky, weird and loopy?
You'll never see a bird like the blue-footed booby
So...
If you see a booby bird while visiting the zoo
There's no need to remind him that his feet are coloured blue!
