Jemaine Clement - Pretty Bird

I was striking, suave, ambitious
Feet to beak, so birdylicious
Now I'm vile, I'm villainous and vicious
Oh, and malicious

I had it all, a TV show, women too
I was tall, over 1 foot 2
Then they got a pretty parakeet to fill my shoes
That's why I am so evil, why I do what I do

(He was superstar) So young and vital
(He's nasty) A South-American Idol
(He's a suspicious bird) Who said that about me?
(A very vicious bird) I'll have you rotisseried!

I was the king of telenovellas
The envy of all the other fellas
Then I was pushed out
For a pretty polly parakeet from Paraguay
They called Patricious
(Common Paraguayan name)

(He's a nasty bird) I'm insidious
(He's ghastly) Oh, I'm hideous
(He was a real macaw) I'm a cockatoo
(An obscene bird) Yes, that bit's true

I'm a feathery freak with a beak, a bird murderer
You think you're badder than me, I never heard of ya
I'm evil, I'll fill your cheese ball with weevils
I poop on people and I blame it on the seagulls
(It was him)

(He's a nasty bird) I'm invincible
(He's ghastly) I'm unminceable
I'm unwashable, unrinse-able
Like an abandoned school, I have no principal

All of you Brazilian birds
All 18 million birds
I'll tell you what I'm going to do
I'm going to make you

Shut up now, shut up, it's just me
I will make you ugly too

Did you hear how dramatic that was
With the end?
