[C] Since making [Gaug] whoopee be-[C]came all the [Gaug] rage
It's [C] even [Gaug] got into the [A7] old birdcage
And [Dm] my canary has [G7] circles under his [C] eyes [Gdim] [Cdim] [G7]
[C] He used to [Gaug] whistle the [C] Prisoner's [Gaug] Song
[C] Now he does [Gaug] Snake Hips the [A7] whole night long
And [Dm] my canary has [G7] circles under his [C] eyes
His [E7] only [B7] friends are the [E7] yellow lark [A] and the tiny sparrow
But [D] I’m a-[A7]fraid when he’s [D] in the park
He’s [G] off the straight and [G7] narrow [Gaug]
In-[C]stead of [Gaug] taking a [C] much needed [Gaug] rest
He's [C] flying [Gaug] out to some [A7] sparrow's nest
And [Dm] my canary has [G7] circles under his [C] eyes [Gdim] [Cdim] [G7]
[C] He has no [Gaug] girlfriend that [C] I'm certain [Gaug] of
[C] But he thinks: [Gaug] What is this [A7] thing called love?
And [Dm] my canary has circles under his [C] eyes [Gdim] [Cdim] [G7]
[C] Birds of a [Gaug] feather the [C] old story [Gaug] goes
But [C] love is [Gaug] something no-[A7]body knows
And [Dm] my canary has [G7] circles under his [C] eyes
Now [E7] there was a [B7] time he was [E7] satisfied
To [A] flit among the flowers
But [D] now when I [A7] let him [D] out he'll hide
[G] Up in a tree for [G7] hours [Gaug]
[C] He won't eat his [Gaug] birdseed it's [C] really a [Gaug] sin
He [C] won't sing a [Gaug] thing without his [A7] cup of gin
And [Dm] my canary has [G7] circles under his [C] eyes [Gdim] [Cdim] [G7]
[C] I raised that [Gaug] bird in a [C] manner so [Gaug] strict
[C] Now I’m [Gaug] certain I’m [A7] being tricked
[Dm] My canary has [G7] circles under his [C] eyes [B] [Bb] [A7]
[Dm] My canary has [G7] circles under his [C] eyes [B] [C]
