intro: C

C
Yeah, you're a flamingo, you stand on one leg

             F                              C
you're a flamingo baby, you hatched from an egg

                                F                  G
Well, you hold your foot up so delicately over the sea

    C                  F                C
And when it comes down it comes down on me

C
I used to want to hump you, I used to want to rock and roll
                                    F                   C
I was attracted to your gracefulness but then surprise took its toll
                                 F          G
Now I guess I'd better go out now and find something new
    C                         F                C
And all I'm left with is a craving for some flamingo stew

(solo)

C
Now beauty's in the gutter, and loveliness is off her throne
                           F                      C
In the eyes of the beholder he's gone and now he feels kind of alone
                                 F                 G
But this feeling is the kind that will always shortly pass
    C                          F                   C
I'm gonna find myself another bird and roll on down the grass

(repeat first verse)
