Got that bluebird on my shoulder
And it flew there from my heart
Knocked my world right over
That I carried from the start
He's a true bird,
this bluebird
Believe me when I say
Got that bluebird on my shoulder
And he sang the blues for me
Too long the blues held me in a prison
Yet all the time I had the key When I
opened up my heart where love was living
I heard
sweet harmony Got that bluebird on my shoulder
And he flew there from my
heart
Knocked my world right over
That I carried from the start
He's a true bird, this bluebird
Believe me when I say Got that bluebird on my shoulder
And he sang my blues in vain
It seems he's been around the world forever
The spirit of
a happy tune
When you listen to that bluebird you never
Cry under a blue moon
Got that bluebird
on my shoulder And he flew there from my heart
He knocked my world right over
That I carried from the start
He's a true bird,
this bluebird
Believe me when I say
Got that bluebird on my shoulder And he sang my blues in vain
