Well, it cost me 30 bucks to fix [E] my budgie [F#] when the little blighter only cost [B] me five
The veterinary surgeon [E] saw me coming, [F#] but I had to keep my feathered [B] friend alive
[G#m] He was shaking on his perch the [E] kids were crying
[G#m] The family gathered around his [E] little cage.
[G#m] I said, I think it's time we got [E] a new one
[G#m] That's when the family went [F#] into a rage
[B] Oh, the waiting room ponged like [E] a rat house
[F#] with heartworms and [B] lungworms and lice
And a Persian had her eye on my [E] shoebox.
[F#] I suppose he thought our budgie [B] might be nice
[G#m] Well, the bird shit on the veterinary [E] surgeon
[G#m] I heard him say the dirty [E] little chick
[G#m] Guess he wondered why I didn't use [E] my brains and [G#m] hit him over the head with a [F#] brick
[E]
Oh
[B] Antibiotics for his color
[E] Two drops a [B] day on his beak
[E] Some powder on the [B] nose for his feathers
[C#m]
Clean out [F#] his [B] cage twice a week
[E] Well, [B] [E]

it cost me 30 bucks to [E] fix my budgie
[F#] When the little blighter only [B] cost me five and the bludger wakes me early [E] in the morning
[F#] It's got me puzzled [B] how he survived
[G#m] One night I'll feed him to [E] the tomcat
[G#m] Instead of worrying about him when we [E] go away
[G#m] No one wants to feed a [E] shitty budgie
[C#] When everyone's on [F#] holiday [E] Oh
[B] Antibiotics for his color
[E] Two drops a [B] day on his beak
[E] Some powder on the [B] nose for his feathers
[A#] And clean [F#] out his cage [B] twice a week
