'Cause it's a chanteuse dahling, I'ma chanteuse
I'm on the stage
Gotta feel it
I'm on the piano, you know how good this feels?
When I was little, I would be in lingerie on the piano
At like, thirteen
Appropriate? Not really
But it's me and I can't help it

Lullaby of birdland, that's what I
Always hear when you sigh
Never in my wordland could there be ways to reveal
In a phrase how I feel

Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love?
That's the kind of magic
Music we make with our lips when we kiss

And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should say fare thee well and goodbye

Oh, lullaby of birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, then we'll go
Flyin' high in birdland, high in the sky up above
All because we're in love

Tell me about that man
He's a weepy old willow
And he really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should say fare thee well and goodbye

Lullaby of birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, then we'll go
Flyin' high in birdland, high in the sky up above
All because we're in love
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love

In love
I'm so in love with you, boy
All because we're in love
And all because
I can't live without you
I want to, have you
I'm making up something
But that don't mean nothing 'cause it's
In love

He said
"Let me grab that before it becomes a tangent"
