    Verse 1
    Well it 
    cost 
    me 

    thirty 
    bucks 
    to fix 
    my 
    budgie, 

    When the 
    little 
    blighter 
    only 
    cost 
    me five. 

    The 
    veterinary 
    surgeon 
    saw 
    me 
    com
    ing, 

    But I 
    had 
    to keep 
    my 
    feathered 

    friend 
    alive; 

    Verse 2
    He was 
    shak
    ing 
    on 
    his 
    perch, 

    the kids 
    were 
    cry
    ing, 

    The fam
    ily 
    gathered 

    round 
    his 
    little 
    cage. 

    I said 
    I think 
    it's time 

    we got 
    a new 
    one, 

    That's 
    when 
    the fam
    ily 

    went 
    into 
    a 
    rage. 

    Oh, the 
    Verse 3
    waiting 
    room 
    ponged like 
    a rat 
    house, 


    With heart 
    worms 
    and 
    lung 

    worms 
    and 
    lice. 

    And a Persian 
    had her 
    eye 
    on the 
    shoe
    box, 

    I 
    sup
    pose 
    she 
    thought 
    our 

    budgie might 
    be 
    nice. 

    Verse 4
    Well 
    the bird 
    shit 
    on 
    the veterinary 
    sur
    geon, 

    I 
    heard 
    him say 
    the 
    dirty 
    little 
    chick
    . 

    Guess 
    he 
    wondered 
    why 

    I didn't 
    use 
    my 
    brain
    s 

    And 
    hit him 
    over the 
    head 

    with 
    a 
    brick. 

    Verse 5
    [Chorus] 

    Oh antibiotics 
    for 
    his 
    color, 

    Two 
    drops 
    a 
    day 
    on 
    his 
    beak. 

    Some 
    powder 
    on 
    the nose 

    for 
    his 
    feathers 

    And clean 
    out 
    his 
    cage 
    twice 
    a 
    week. 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 6
    Well it 
    cost 
    me 
    thirty 
    bucks 

    to fix 
    my 
    budgie 

    When the 
    little 
    blighter 

    only 
    cost 
    me five 

    And the 
    bludger 
    wakes 
    me 

    early 
    in 
    the morn
    ing, 

    It's 
    got 
    me 
    puzzled 
    how 
    he 
    sur
    vives. 

    Verse 7
    One 
    night 
    I'll 
    feed 
    him 
    to the 
    tom 
    cat. 

    Instead 
    of wor
    rying 
    about 
    him 

    when 
    we 
    go 
    away. 

    No-one 
    wants 
    wants 
    to 
    feed 

    a shitty 
    budgie, 

    When 
    everyone's 
    on 
    holiday. 

    Outro 1
    [Chorus]

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
