May The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose:Little
Jimmy Dickens - # 15 Pop charts and #1 C/W in 1965.
#1.
One fine day as I was a-walkin down the street..
spied a beggar man with rags upon his feet.
Took a penny from my pocket..in his tin cup I did drop it..
and I heard him say as I made my retreat..
CHORUS:
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose.
May an elephant caress you with his toes.
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose.
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose.
#2.
My laundry man is really on his toes.
Found a hundred-dollar bill among my clothes.
When he called me I came runnin ..gave him
back his dime for phonin ..
and I heard him sayin as I turned to go..
CHORUS:
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose.
May an elephant caress you with his toes.
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose.
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose.
#3.
I was way behind one day to catch a train.
Taxi driver said, We ll make it just the same!
A speed cop made it with us and as he wrote out the ticket..
I stood by, politely, waitin for my change.
CHORUS:
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose.
May an elephant caress you with his toes.
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose.
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose.
OUTRO:
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose.
May an elephant caress you with his toes.
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose.
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose. (Fade.)
