Rocket Budgie Skipper sending thanks for the song!Here's what Skipper is singing to himself in his rocket ship:
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the (budgie) man they think I am at home
Ah, no no no
I'm a rocket (budgie) man
Rocket (budgie) man
Burnin' out his fuse
Up here alone
Thanks, Lynda,And back on Earth, the budgies are singing ....
Black conure in Chicago
Flying in the street
Not near enough toys
But plenty seed to eat
Don't you know
He saw it
On that afternoon in May
He saw a budgie named Skippy Armstrong
