A Day in the Life

I read rare bird news today oh boy

About a lucky man who found a Shrike

And though the news it said Woodchat

Well I just had to laugh

I saw the photograph

He put his shutter speed too low

He didn't notice that the light had changed

A crowd of people stood and stared

They'd seen this Shrike before

Nobody was really sure if this was a Woodchat at all!

I saw the film today oh boy

It showed the Shrike looking like a Masked,

A crowd of people turned up anyway 

And I just had to look

And consulted a book

I'd love to seeeeeeee thaaaaaaat Shriiiiiiiiike....

Jumped up, got out of bed

Dragged a sponge? across my head

Found my way downstairs and drank a cup

And looking up I noticed I was late

Found my scope and kicked a cat

Made the car in seconds flat

Found my way inside and had some coke

somebody spoke and I went into a dream

I read the news today oh boy

A third for Britain at Spurn Point, Yorkshire

And though the crowds were rather small

They had to count them all

Now they know how many twitchers it takes to fill Hull City Hall

I'd love to turn you on
