[00:56.632]Jill and I were talking just the other day about the bowerbirdies and the little houses they made
[01:05.699]They collect sticks and objects in lovely colours
[01:10.948]In order to attract a special and suitable lover
[01:15.444]And David thinks the hummingbirds are fascinating
[01:20.152]I wonder if they invented the art of speed dating?
[01:24.676]They flap their wings 50 to 200 times per second
[01:29.285]I guess that's how they get those crazy pecs
[01:34.531]But it was the flight of the common snipe
[01:44.884]Which kept me up in my bed at night
[01:53.736]And I thought about what it was to him
[02:03.090]A reflection of his beauty which made my head swim
[02:13.083]Have you ever seen a picture of a cassowary?
[02:17.232]It has a six-inch claw which I find rather scary
[02:21.703]If you're not careful it may very well eviscerate you
[02:26.579]And, if you ask me, that's a dinosaur
[02:30.980]And what is up with the shoebill stork?
[02:34.970]It looks like it's about to stab you with a fork
[02:40.316]And yet apparently it's highly prized
[02:44.293]Perhaps because its beak is very large in size
[02:49.973]But it was the flight of the common snipe
[02:59.310]Which kept me up in my bed at night
[03:06.835]And I thought about what it was to him
[03:18.147]A reflection of his beauty which made my head swim
[04:06.452]And I thought about what it was to him
[04:16.155]A reflection of his beauty which made my head swim
[04:23.678]But it was the flight of the common snipe
[04:33.646]Which kept me up in my bed at night
[04:40.724]And I thought about what it was to him
[04:52.451]A reflection of his beauty which made my head swim
