1
I'm your only friend
2
I'm not your only friend
3
But I'm a little glowing friend
4
But really I'm not actually your friend
5
But I am
6
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
7
Who watches over you
8
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
9
Not to put too fine a point on it
10
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
11
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
12
I have a secret to tell
13
From my electrical well
14
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
15
So the room must listen to me
16
Filibuster vigilantly
17
My name is blue canary one note* spelled l-i-t-e
18
My story's infinite
19
Like the Longines Symphonette it doesn't rest
20
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
21
Who watches over you
22
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
23
Not to put too fine a point on it
24
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
25
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
26
I'm your only friend
27
I'm not your only friend
28
But I'm a little glowing friend
29
But really I'm not actually your friend
30
But I am
31
There's a picture opposite me
32
Of my primitive ancestry
33
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
34
Though I respect that a lot
35
I'd be fired if that were my job
36
After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts
37
Bluebird of friendliness
38
Like guardian angels its always near
39
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
40
Who watches over you
41
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
42
Not to put too fine a point on it
43
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
44
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
45
(and while you're at it
46
Keep the nightlight on inside the
47
Birdhouse in your soul)
48
Not to put too fine a point on it
49
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
50
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
51
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it)
52
Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
53
Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)
54
Not to put too fine a point on it
55
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
56
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
57
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it)
58
Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
59
Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)
60
Not to put too fine a point on it
61
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
62
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
63
Notes
64
The Dial-a-Song version has the following significantly altered lyrics:
65
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
66
He watches over you
67
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
68
Not to put too fine a point on it
69
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
70
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
71
I have a secret to tell
72
Out when you're all by yourself
73
There's a time when even you get up and leave your nothing to dwell
74
I don't want to talk about that
75
And no one listens to that
76
But for the one who does, and she's the one you worry about
77
Don't you say anything
78
If you have anything to do with it
79
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
80
He watches over you
81
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
82
Not to put too fine a point on it
83
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
84
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
85
I'd like to cover the earth
86
With a fresh-baked yummy dessert
87
People couldn't live in it, but I think it's worth the money and hurt
88
'Cause I couldn't tolerate
89
All the empty places in the world
90
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
91
He watches over you
92
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
93
Not to put too fine a point on it
94
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
95
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
96
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
97
I don't feel thirty
98
Give me something to write on
99
I don't feel three hundred
100
Give me something to write on
