| Song Lyrics: |
I'm just sittin' in a vacant lot with a bird sittin' on my head
I'm just sittin' in a vacant lot with a bird sittin' on my head
Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What have you done to me?
I belong in someone's arms
Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
This is no kind of life
I should have a house and bed and I should have me a wife
We're just sittin' in a vacant lot and we haven't got a dime
The bird and me, lonely as can be, we're together all the time
Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What have you done to me?
I belong in someone's arms and I belong in a tree
Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What I say is no lie
We've been sittin' here so long that I forgot how to fly
I'm just sittin' in a vacant lot and I'm sittin' on his head
The things we want we haven't got
Need a tree and house and bed
Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What have you done to me?
He belongs in someone's arms and he belongs in a tree
Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
This is no kind of life
He should have a house and bed and he should have him a wife
Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What have you done to me?
I belong in someone's arms
and I belong in a tree
