"Blackbird" lyrics
(originally by The Beatles)
Listen, we gon' do a song for you
It goes like this
One, two, three, go, ah
Listen
See, the first time I heard this song
It was in the sixties
And it was done by the Beatles
The who?
The Beatles
Oh
And the song had to do with animals, y'all
Oh, Lord
Animals, what kind?
Birds
Birds?
Blackbirds
Patrick, you got some blackbirds for me?
No, they sound like seagulls, I want some blackbirds
That ain't no blackbird
Y'all ready, girls?
I guess so
It goes like this
Blackbird singin' in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waitin' for this moment to arise
Blackbird
Did y'all get that?
No
You know the song we talkin' about?
Uh-uh
How 'bout y'all up there in the balcony?
Now you know they don't
Alright
Don't you fill me me 'cause you up there
It's darker up there than it is down here
And if you know how to work it
You can have a whole lot more fun
Than each person down here
That's right
Oh
Now we gon' sing this for y'all up there, alright?
It goes like this
Blackbird singin' in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waitin' for this moment to be free
Oh, yeah
Alright
Oh, yeah
Uh-huh
Oh
Blackbird, why don't you fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of the dark, black night
Alright
Uh-huh
Blackbird
Oh, blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Oh
Blackbird, blackbird fly, why don't you fly
(Go ahead)
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of the dark, black night
Alright
Do me a favor
Do, do, do, do
How 'bout that?
Blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of the dark, black night
Alright, girl
Uh-huh
Whoa, yeah
Should we turn our show up?
Come on, y'all
Blackbirds, fly
Blackbirds, fly
Into the light of the dark, black night
Oh
Did y'all get the message?
You sure you got the message?
You mean you know what we're gonna talk about?
We gon' do it for y'all, believe us, to make sure you got it
Come on, y'all
Blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of the dark, black night
Oh, blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of the dark, black night
Thank you
It goes like this
One, two, three, go, ah
