Lyrics

He’s a peach,
He’s a gem,
He’s a special breed of gentleman,
The one that I’ve been looking for,
With guts and grace
And so much more.

And I’ll give almost all
But I can’t answer the call
Of my beautiful
My Bird of Paradise.

All you starlings in the trees,
And way up in the sky,
Let me introduce you to
The apple of my eye.
Cause there’s no one more extraordinary,
Or fabulous or luminary,
But, we both agree
That he is not for me.

But I’ll still
Do my best
Even though he’ll fly the nest,
Oh, my beautiful
My Bird of Paradise.

All you starlings in the trees,
And way up in the sky,
Let me introduce you to
The apple of my eye.
Cause there’s no one more extraordinary,
Or fabulous or luminary,
But, we both agree
That he is not for me.

But I’ll preach
To the choir
Or I’ll set the world on fire
For my beautiful
My Bird of Paradise.
