May the Bird of Paradise Fly up Your Nose - "Little" Jimmy Dickens

作词：N. Merritt

作曲：N. Merritt

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

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

The laundry man is really on his toes

Found a hundred-dollar bill among my clothes

When he called me I came a-runnin'

Gave him back his dime for phonin'

And I heard him sayin' as I turned to go

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

I was way behind one day to catch the train

Taxi driver said We'll make it just the same

The speed cop made it with us

And as he wrote out the ticket

I stood by politely a-waitin' for my change

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

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
