Superbird

(album: Emergence - 1971)

When I was young
No worries in my head
I used to flap my arms
And fly around my bed
Just like a superbird
Zoom, zoom, zoom
Up and down the chandelier
All around the room

When I told the people
That I could really fly
They said that little boys
Ain't supposed to lie
Poor little superbird
Sitting on the ground
No zoom, zoom, zoom
When anyone's around

Fly, fly, fly, Superbird
Superbird
While you're young, Superbird
Superbird
There's time enough
To wreck your dreams
Have your fun
Superbird

They said I couldn't
So what did I do then?
I cried myself to sleep
And never tried again
Poor little Superbird
They woke you up too soon
No Santa Clause
Or green cheese on the moon

It skipped my mind for years
At least until tonight
When I tucked the kids in
And I turned out the light
There at the doorway
You'll never guess what I heard
Zoom, zoom, zoom
Superbird

Fly, fly, fly, Superbird
Superbird
While you're young, Superbird
Superbird
There's time enough
To wreck your dreams
Have your fun
Superbird
