Parrot Fashion Love

Sitting on the veranda, with my old girl Miranda

5 o'clock shadows soft in the gloom

In love after a fashion, we're broke, spent all our passion

9 o'clock and we're off to our room

Coming like a habit, coming like a ritual

The same old tête-à-tête in your dreamy feather-bed

You give lessons in parrot fashion love

The same old tête-à-tête in your dreamy feather-bed

You give lessons in parrot fashion love

Drunk and disabled we're both under the table

With the crumbs, in the doldrums we play

Good loving and laughter, we both know what we're after

And there don't seem a lot left to say

Coming like a habit, coming like a ritual

The same old tête-à-tête in your dreamy feather-bed

You give lessons in parrot fashion love

The same old tête-à-tête in your dreamy feather-bed

You give lessons in parrot fashion love

Polly want a cracker, Polly want a cracker

The same old tête-à-tête in your dreamy feather-bed

You give lessons in parrot fashion love

The same old tête-à-tête in your dreamy feather-bed

You give lessons in parrot fashion love, love, love, love.

The same old monotone, you're gonna wind up on your own

You learned your lesson, no more parrot fashion love

Parrot fashion love

Love, love, love
