Bye Bye Blackbird
Brave Combo/Tiny Tim Lyrics

This is the bye bye blackbird twist
Introducing a new version of the classic song Bye Bye Blackbird by Brave Combo/Tiny Tim

Pack up all my care and woe
Leaving behind all worries and concerns

Here I go, singing low
Starting the journey with a low and slow song

Bye bye blackbird
Saying goodbye to the old things

Where somebody waits for me
Going to someone special who is waiting

Sugar's sweet, so is she
The person waiting is as sweet as sugar

No one here can love or understand me
Feeling alone and misunderstood

Oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
Tired of listening to people's depressing stories

Make my bed and light the light
Preparing for the journey and leaving the light on

I'll arrive late tonight
Reaching the destination later than expected

Blackbird, bye bye
Farewell to the blackbird

No one here can love or understand me
Reiterating the feeling of loneliness and isolation

Oh, oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
Continuing to express frustration with people's sad stories

Make my bed and light the light
Repeating the preparation for the journey

I'll arrive late tonight
Repeating the arrival time

Blackbird, blackbird, blackbird bye bye
Final farewell to the symbol of the old things

Goodbye, blackbird
Another farewell to the blackbird

I'm gonna miss ya
Expressing sadness for leaving the old things behind

I'm gonna miss ya, blackbird
Repeating the fondness for the blackbird

Ya hear dat?
Asking for acknowledgment that someone is listening

I'm gonna follow you soon
Promising to follow the path of the old things

Wherever you go, why I'll follow you
Repeating the promise to follow the old things

There's someone waiting out there for me, where you're leading
Believing that someone is waiting on the path of the old things

I can see you flappin' your wings now
Imagining the symbol of the old things flying away

You're calling me
Feeling called by the symbol of the old things

I hear you calling me
Acknowledging the call of the old things

I hear ya! I hear ya!
Repeating the acknowledgment of the call of the old things

I'm coming! I'm coming!
Responding to the call of the old things

I'm almost here
Near the destination of the old things

She's there waiting for me
Confirming that someone special is indeed waiting

Oh, how wonderful she looks
Expressing admiration for the person waiting

Oh how marvelous, blackbird
Expressing admiration for the old things

Here! here!
Announcing the arrival at the destination

Flap your wings, flap 'em! flap 'em! whistle to me!
Requesting the symbol of the old things to signal the arrival
