Audubon-Fire of the Vanities
This entry was inspired by Jeff MacNelly's comic strip "Shoe" and is meant to be sung to the melody of "Onward, Christian Soldiers!"
Stanza One:
A chicken runs a restaurant, an eagle is a cop,
an owl repairs computers, and a seagull keeps a shop.
A loon delivers newspapers, often flying low,
a fish-hawk writes the stories, and the editor's a crow.
Stanza Two:
Woodpeckers wear hardhats and a white dove is a nurse.
A blue jay hosts a talk show. A buzzard drives a hearse.
Everywhere you look you see that feathers are the rule.
The mayor is a turkey and a gray goose teaches school.
Refrain:
Clearly this small Southern town is just too weird for words.
Treetops, East Virginia,
is strictly for the birds.
