I'm your only friend I'm not your only friend Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet Make a little birdhouse in your soul Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet There's a picture opposite me of my primitive ancestry Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch Make a little birdhouse in your soul Make a little birdhouse in your soul (Keep the nightlight on inside the) Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch Not to put too fine a point on it So the room must listen to me filibuster vigilantly Keep the nightlight on inside Who watches over you? Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet Songwriters: John C. Flansburgh, John S. Linnell But I'm a little glowing friend (Birdhouse in your soul) My name is Blue Canary one note spelled L I T E (And while you're at it) Who watches over you? Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free Not to put too fine a point on it Make a little birdhouse in your soul Make a little birdhouse in your soul I'm not your only friend The birdhouse in your soul Not to put too fine a point on it Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch But really I'm not actually your friend, but I am Who watches over you? Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet Publisher: TMBG MUSIC Make a little birdhouse in your soul (And while you're at it) Not to put too fine a point on it Bluebird of friendliness like guardian Angels its always near After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts I'm your only friend Who watches over you? I have a secret to tell from my electrical well (Birdhouse in your soul) But I'm a little glowing friend My story's infinite like the Longines Symphonette it doesn't rest Though I respect that a lot I'd be fired if that were my job Make a little birdhouse in your soul Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet Make a little birdhouse in your soul Make a little birdhouse in your soul (Keep the nightlight on inside the) Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet While you're at it But really I'm not actually your friend, but I am Make a little birdhouse in your soul Who watches over you? Make a little birdhouse in your soul Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch Not to put too fine a point on it Not to put too fine a point on it
