Polly On The Rail

Lyrics

[Verse 1] On the porch, he sways Green coat, red tail One eye on my bowl One eye on my mail He taps the rail twice Then he tips his head Says, "Open that mango Before it all gets dead" [Pre-Chorus] Oh, he knows my name He calls it out clean With a beak full of trouble And a grin too mean [Chorus] Polly on the rail Polly on the rail Say my secrets back Polly on the rail Polly on the rail Polly on the rail One loud "hello!" Then he laughs and sails [Verse 2] He likes ripe bananas And shiny little keys Steals the sugar packet Then spins in the breeze He heard me hum bad Now he owns that tune Sings it to the pigeons At the edge of noon [Pre-Chorus] Oh, he knows my name He calls it out clean With a beak full of trouble And a grin too mean [Chorus] Polly on the rail Polly on the rail Say my secrets back Polly on the rail Polly on the rail Polly on the rail One loud "hello!" Then he laughs and sails [Bridge] When the rain comes down He leans in close Muttering "good good good" Like he runs the show I say, "Who taught you?" He says, "You did" Then he snaps his wings And he steals my lid [Chorus] Polly on the rail Polly on the rail Say my secrets back Polly on the rail Polly on the rail Polly on the rail One loud "hello!" Then he laughs and sails
