This is a story about birds above
About an eagle in search of love
He wanted to set a wedding day
Only things wouldn’t go his way

This eagle wanted everything right
His bride must be a bird of flight
Even though chickens love to procreate
They wouldn’t do, not for a date

He decided to cruise a singles bar
To find his mate among the stars
He cast his eagle eye on lonely birds
Then one at a time he gave his word

First, he came upon a lovely teal
She said she: “loves to feel”!
But he couldn’t bring her home to Mother dear
She’s not a socialite like him, he feared

Next, he came upon a shining dove
Who let him know she was made for love
But he couldn’t stand her constant “cooing”
So, he told her: “nothing doing”

In a corner he spied a hawk
Heads would turn when she walked
But at her side was her man in wing
A killer hawk, big and everything

But one more lovely in the room
It made him smile to lift his gloom
There she was, a beautiful duck
She said: “I’m a drake, you’ve made a big mistake”!

That hit him hard, thrown for a loss
All his plans he gave a toss
That was ten years ago to the day
He’s still single, alone, and grey

Grey eagle, grey eagle
Such a lonely bird
Grey eagle, grey eagle
Such bad luck is absurd
Grey eagle, grey eagle
All you have is your word
