about

A bit like telling someone to go to hell such that they look forward to the trip, the second single from the Fred Wickham Caravan's upcoming debut LP would probably fly right over the head of the protagonist's most ardent followers...tweet tweet.

lyrics

Listen everybody, people gather around
Fatbird from the city coming to our little town
We'll have a celebration, gonna have a big parade
Children on the sidewalk selling ten-cent lemonade

Let me tell you people
It's a beautiful thing
Put your hands together
Let the church bell ring
Everybody love to hear the Fatbird sing

See him on the TV, he's on the radio
Fatbird singing in your ear everywhere you go
Bringing back the old songs, don't they sound so good
Momma, Pappa are dancing all around the neighborhood

Let me tell you people
We ought to make him King
Pack up all your babies
Whoever you may bring
Everybody loves to hear the Fatbird sing

Early in the morning before the roosters crow
Fatbird eating muffins in his underwear and robe
Flippin' off the TV, cussin' that remote
If Fatbird don't do something he just might explode

Up in New York City they don't understand
Why everybody wants to shake the Fatbird's tiny hand

Let me tell you people
They don't know a doggone thing
Well they tune in down in Texas
From Beaumont to Beijing
Everybody love to hear the Fatbird sing
