lyrics

If you lay awake last night
Thinking of another song to write,
You can depend on our pigeon friend.

Sitting in his favourite tree,
'cause that's where he always likes to be,
You can depend on our pigeon friend
To sing this song...

If you want to run and hide
'cause your toast fell on the buttered side,
You can depend on our pigeon friend.

If there's housework to be done
And it doesn't really seem like fun,
You can depend on our pigeon friend
To sing this song...

If a lorry's in the road,
Blocked your driveway so you cannot load,
You can depend on our pigeon friend.

Be it dull or be it fine,
If rain soaked the laundry on the line,
You can depend on our pigeon friend
To sing this song...

He repeats his song,
Which doesn't last long
And ends on just one
Note.
etc.
