He timed it all just right
For the sparrow's first flight
But I said don't fly down there
The world is such a scare
But he flew down anyway
And got chomped like easy prey
You know he should've listened fast
Now his thought is just the past
At least I told him anyway
Hey hey
Down on avenue A
The pimp flexed his gold chains
But I pointed out the rain
That it would rust them all the same
And like clockwork did they rust
And then he died of tetanus
And so I took his girl for mine
And for him she does not pine
At least I told him anyway
Hey hey
Do do, do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do, do do
Well the one thing that I wish
Is that the sparrow meet the pimp
Oh yeah in Heaven in the sky
Over tropical Mai Tais
And their stories they will swap
And in horror they will stop
Oh and they'll learn they both knew me
And I offer them a plea
At least I told them anyway
Hey hey
Do do, do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do, do do
