  MAY THE BIRD OF PARADISE FLY UP YOUR NOSE

  Recorded by Little Jimmy Dickens

  Written by Neal Merritt

  

  [E] One fine day as I was [B7] walkin' down the [E] street

  Met a beggar man with rags upon his [B7] feet

  Took a [E] (spoken) penny from my pocket,

     In his [A] (spoken) tin cup I did drop it

  And I [E] heard him say as [B7] I made my re-[E] treat.

  

  CHORUS

  May the bird of paradise fly [B7] up your [E] nose

  May an elephant caress you with his [B7] toes

  May your [E] wife be plagued with runners in her [A] hose

  May the [E] bird of paradise [B7] fly up your [E] nose.

  

  I was way behind one day to catch a train

  Taxi driver, "said we'll make it just the same"

  But a speed cop made it with us,

     And as he wrote out the ticket

  I stood by politely waitin' for my change.

  

  CHORUS

  

  Well, my laundry man is really on his toes

  Found a hundred dollar bill among my clothes

  When he called me, I came runnin',

     Gave him back his dime for phonin'

  And I heard him sayin' as I turned to go.

  

  CHORUS
