Here I come, yoo-hoo-hoo!
Your beloved cockatoo
Oh yeah, screech I do
For I love you, yes I do
Away, away with you
Cheeky, screeching cockatoo!
Shoo and shoo and shoo!
Yeah, I loved you too
Before the bite you took
With your blasted beak like a hook
(You don’t seem to need a cook!)
Out of my poor table that it shook
With searing horror and in pain
To be thus sliced and slain
Now exposing wounded grain
Depart at once, you pesky pest
NO, I’m not saying it in jest
NO, I’m no more impressed
By your splendid sulphur crest
You’re no more a welcome guest!
Shoo, shoo, shoo!
BOO to you!
