One fine day as I was awalkin down the street Spied a beggar man with rags upon his feet Took a penny from my pocket In his tin cup I did drop it I heard him say as I made my retreat May the bird of paradise fly up your nose May an elephant caress you with his toes May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose May the bird of paradise fly up your nose The laundry man is really on his toes Found a hundreddollar bill among my clothes When he called me I came arunnin Gave him back his dime for phonin I heard him sayin as I turned to go May the bird of paradise fly up your nose May an elephant caress you with his toes May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose May the bird of paradise fly up your nose I was way behind one day to catch the train Taxi driver said Well make it just the same The speed cop made it with us And as he wrote out the ticket I stood by politely awaitin for my change May the bird of paradise fly up your nose May an elephant caress you with his toes May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose May the bird of paradise fly up your nose May the bird of paradise fly up your nose May an elephant caress you with his toes May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose May the bird of paradise fly up your nose
