MAY THE BIRD OF PARADISE FLY UP YOUR NOSE Recorded by Little Jimmy Dickens Written by Neal Merritt
[E] One fine day as I was [B7] walkin' down the [E] street Met a beggar man with rags upon his [B7] feet Took a [E] (spoken) penny from my pocket, In his [A] (spoken) tin cup I did drop it And I [E] heard him say as [B7] I made my re-[E] treat.
CHORUS May the bird of paradise fly [B7] up your [E] nose May an elephant caress you with his [B7] toes May your [E] wife be plagued with runners in her [A] hose May the [E] bird of paradise [B7] fly up your [E] nose.
I was way behind one day to catch a train Taxi driver, "said we'll make it just the same" But a speed cop made it with us, And as he wrote out the ticket I stood by politely waitin' for my change.
CHORUS
Well, my laundry man is really on his toes Found a hundred dollar bill among my clothes When he called me, I came runnin', Gave him back his dime for phonin' And I heard him sayin' as I turned to go.
