The landlady's husband came up to town today Since he left them both ten years ago to serve the ministry The dark down road of his approach in constant rain was drenched The tenant's boy said, "How d'ya do?" Then swore in FrenchDid you teach this little child these curses on my soul You should both be shut down in the coal-hole That's the way to treat a child who cries out in the night And a woman who teaches wrong from rightOh, he's a battered old bird And he's living up there, oh He's a battered old bird And he's living up there, ohThere's a place where time stands still If you keep taking these little pink pills, ohHush your mouth, you hypocrite His humor cut her deep The tight lipped leer of judgment That had seen her love desert her just like sleepFilthy words on children's lips Are better, my dear spouse Then if I were to speak my mind About this houseOh, he's a battered old bird And he's living up there, oh He's a battered old bird And he's living up there, ohThere's a place where time stands still You keep taking these little pink pills, ohBut on the first floor there are two old maids Each one wishing that the other was afraid And next door to them is a man so mild 'Til he chopped off the head of a visitor's childHe danced upon the bonfire Swallowed sleeping pills like dreams With a bottle of sweet sherry That everything redeemsOh, he's a battered old bird And he's living up there, oh He's a battered old bird And he's living up there, ohThere's a place where time stands still If you keep taking these little pink pills, ohAnd on the second floor is the Macintosh Man He's in his overcoats more than out of them And the typewriter's rattling all through the night He's burgundy for breakfast tightHe says, "One day I'll throw away All of my cares And it is always Christmas in a cupboard At the top of the stairs"Oh, he's a battered old bird And he's living up there, oh He's a battered old bird And he's living up there, ohThere's a place where time stands still If you keep taking these little pink pills, ohHere's a boy if ever there was Who's going to do big things Guess that's what they all say And that's how the trouble beginsI've seen them rise and fall Been through their big deals and smalls He'd better have a dream that goes Beyond four wallsYou think he should be sent outside Playing with the traffic When pieces of him are already Scattered in the attic When pieces of him are already Scattered in the atticOh, he's a battered old bird And he's living up there, oh He's a battered old bird And he's living up there, ohAnd there's a place where time stands still You keep taking these little pink pills, oh, oh, oh
