about

A bossa nova in the style of a cheesy cruise ship singer about the most accomplished glider in the animal kingdom.

lyrics

Albatross

Albatross, I love to watch you in the sky,
When I see you on the breeze,
Floating gracefully with ease,
All I do is simply sigh, Aaaaaaaah.

Albatross, you never come down from on high,
Except for when you feed,
Or every other year to breed,
And finally to die.

Oh your wings are not evolved for flapping,
Though no other bird has wings as wide,
So you may fly a little crappy,
If there isn't any wind to give the upthrust to your wings that lets you glide.

Albatross,
For if I see you from below,
I know the wind will always blow,
And i`ll be sailing swiftly on.

Albatross, you will glide 5000 miles,
Before you dive in an attack,
To catch a squid that make a snack,
For your chick to make it smile.

Oh, you fall in love so madly,
So, so madly that you mate for life,
But now your numbers dwindle rather sadly
For you may never love again, if your mate is tangled on a fishing line.

Albatross, I love to watch you in the sky,
When I see you on the breeze,
Floating gracefully with ease,
All I do is simply sigh, Aaaaaaaah.

Albatross, you never come down from on high,
Except for when you feed,
Or every other year to breed,
And finally to die.
