Lady Parrot

d Lady parrot, Roman parrot sing to me A song of love in the highland oceans My ears are craving to hear you sing to me A mouthful of those songs in your throat My mother had gone home and my father had Gone to see his mistress, am all alone in the field. Lady parrot. Lad, American lad, my songs are for Africans I sing of corruption and terrorism not love Songless shall I remain till I get to Africa Where their homes have been turn to forest And vultures dominate their streets joyfully My songs are for Africans, my little American lad. Lad. For how long would your song be sung in africa? I can't quit my craving noisy ears so long Lady parrot, Roman parrot, sing to me I pray thee for we are here for all of us. Lady parrot. I shall remain in Africa until they change Their black thinking of corruption and selfishness My sons and daughters are in Africa anyway So I can't let go of them until I change Their blackhearts with my song of unity and peace.
