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 |
