_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _
_ _ Well, it cost me 30 bucks to fix [E] my budgie _ [F#] when the little blighter only cost [B] me five
_ The veterinary surgeon [E] saw me coming, _ [F#] but I had to keep my feathered [B] friend alive
_ [G#m] He was shaking on his perch the [E] kids were crying
_ [G#m] The family gathered around his [E] little cage.
_ [G#m] I said, I think it's time we got [E] a new one
_ [G#m] That's when the family went [F#] into a rage
_ _ _ _ [B] Oh, the waiting room ponged like [E] a rat house
_ [F#] with heartworms and [B] lungworms and lice
_ And a Persian had her eye on my [E] shoebox.
_ [F#] I suppose he thought our budgie [B] might be nice
[G#m] Well, the bird shit on the veterinary [E] surgeon
_ [G#m] I heard him say the dirty [E] little chick
_ [G#m] Guess he wondered why I didn't use [E] my brains and [G#m] hit him over the head with a [F#] brick
_ [E] _
Oh
[B] Antibiotics for his color
_ [E] Two drops a [B] day on his beak
_ [E] Some powder on the [B] nose for his feathers
_ _ [C#m]
Clean out [F#] his [B] cage twice a week
_ [E] Well, _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ [F#] _ [B] _ _ _ _
it cost me 30 bucks to [E] fix my budgie
_ [F#] When the little blighter only [B] cost me five and the bludger wakes me early [E] in the morning
_ [F#] It's got me puzzled [B] how he survived
_ [G#m] One night I'll feed him to [E] the tomcat
_ [G#m] Instead of worrying about him when we [E] go away
_ [G#m] No one wants to feed a [E] shitty budgie
_ [C#] When everyone's on [F#] holiday _ _ [E] Oh
_ [B] Antibiotics for his color
_ [E] Two drops a [B] day on his beak
_ [E] Some powder on the [B] nose for his feathers
_ [A#] And clean [F#] out his cage [B] twice a week
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
