The Bird - Morris Day

Hold on, hold on, why y’all beatin' on shit, what’s that mean?

Hold up, do y’all wanna learn a new dance?

Are you qualified to learn one?

That’s what I thought

Who can dance out there?

Okay, we gonna try a new dance

And if I don’t see everybody doin' it, I don’t wanna see you no more

Jellybean, are we ready?

Y’all better do this one

What time is it?

Alright, y’all got 10 seconds

To get to the dance floor and whawk

America, have you heard?

I got a brand new dance and it’s called «The Bird»

You don’t need no finesse or no personality

You just need two arms and an attitude

And everybody sing with me, come on now

Whawk!

Hallelujah!

Whoa

Whawk!

Hallelujah!

Whoa

Brothers, don’t be cool

Women like it sometimes when you act a fool

Sisters, don’t be shy

Let your body get loose, you ain’t to fat to fly

Come on now

Whawk!

Hallelujah!

Whoa

Whawk!

Hallelujah!

Whoa

Just the sexy people

White folks, you’re much too tight

You gotta shake your head like the black folks

You might get some tonight, look out

America, have you heard?

I want everybody on the floor

You know this groove is sexy

You ain’t got no excuse no more

Jerome, I wanna show 'em where we live

Siamese twins joined at the suit

Fellas, give me something to fly with, whawk

Alright, brothers, keep up with that

Jerome, bring me my hat

Did I mess my hair up?

Fellas, y’all play something

I pledge allegiance to the time
