Year of the Parrot lyrics

In the year of our Lord

Call it 1994

A fine vintage of mimicry

There are those that take their sound

From someone else's Toil

Liking to parrots you see

I've seen the likes of Kate Bush

And Van Morrison

Teaching the parrots to sing

Take a Zeppelin riff

And you alter it a bit

And make lots of money

It's called plagiarism

You want some of that cheese

Just take a big ol' bite

Careful not to choke on it please

Now here we go

It's called plagiarism
