Don't Buy a Parrot from a Sailor lyrics

A parrot makes an awful pet when he's been out to sea

You might say he'd be nothin' but your feathered enemy

He's tough and old, he's rough and bold

And his neck should be wrung

In 'is big beak, he's got a shrieky, disrespectful tongue

So...

Don't buy a parrot from a sailor

Don't buy a parrot from a sailor

All them birds say embarrassin' words

So, don't buy a parrot from a sailor

Now, shy Miss Molly bought a Polly

From a sailor lad

She put him in her hatbox

So's you'd not know what she had

She took a crowded bus back home

And thought she'd have a stroke

Each time the bloomin' hatbox told another salty joke

So...

Don't buy a parrot from a sailor

Don't buy a parrot from a sailor

All them birds say embarrassin' words

So, don't buy a parrot from a sailor

The cookery in a fine cafe

He bought a parrot, too

One night while cook was servin' up

A tasty rabbit stew

His customers was horrified

Their appetites went flat

When Polly flew around and cried:

"We'll miss you, pussycat"

So...

Don't buy a parrot from a sailor

Don't buy a parrot from a sailor

All them birds say embarrassin' words

So, don't buy a parrot from a sailor

Don't buy a parrot from a sailor

Don't buy a parrot from a sailor

All them birds say embarrassin' words

So, don't buy a parrot from a sailor!
