Track: Blackbird Pie
Album: Little Green Men

The King was in the garden
Counting out his money
The Queen was in the parlor
Eating bread and honey
The maid was in the kitchen
Making blackbird pie
She knew
It was time

Chorus:
Twenty and four baked in a pie
He opened it up and they sang hi
How do you do
What a big surprise
Twenty and four just for the king
He wanted more than life could bring
He wanted it all
What a big surprise

end only (twenty and four blackbirds in a pie,
twenty and four blackbirds in a pie,
twenty and four blackbird pie, blackbird pie, blackbird )

While the king was sleeping
The queen was gently weeping
Servants in the basement
Gathered for a meeting
They said his time is over
We don’t need a king
They knew
They were free

Everywhere the people
Came from miles around
A young man walked up to him
And took off his gold crown
He ordered men and women
But they would not bow down
They ruled
Their own land
