The Ostrich - Flanders & Swann[00:00:00]
Peek-a-Boo I can't see you [00:00:05]
Everything must be grand [00:00:08]
Boo-ka-Pee they can't see me [00:00:10]
As long as I've got me head in the sand [00:00:13]
Peek-a-Boo it may be true [00:00:16]
There's something in what you've said [00:00:19]
But we've got enough troubles in everyday life [00:00:21]
I just bury me head [00:00:24]
Oh Ostrich consider hw the world we know[00:00:27]
Is trembling on the brink [00:00:30]
Have you heard the news may I hear your views [00:00:32]
Will you tell me what you think [00:00:35]
The Ostrich lifted its head from the sand [00:00:39]
About an inch or so;[00:00:42]
'You will please excuse but disturbing news[00:00:45]
I have no wish to know '[00:00:48]
Oooh Peek-a-Boo I can't see you [00:00:51]
Everything must be grand [00:00:55]
Boo-ka-Pee they can't see me [00:00:58]
As long as I've got me head in the sand [00:01:01]
Peek-a-Boo it may be true [00:01:04]
There's something in what you've said [00:01:07]
But we've got enough troubles in everyday life [00:01:09]
I just bury me head [00:01:12]
Then I noticed suddenly where we were [00:01:15]
I saw what time it was [00:01:18]
Make haste I said It'll be too late [00:01:20]
We must leave this place because [00:01:23]
He stuffed his wingtips into his ears;[00:01:26]
He would not hear me speak [00:01:30]
And back in the soft Saharan sand[00:01:33]
He plunged his yellow beak [00:01:37]
Oooh Peek-a-Boo I can't see you [00:01:41]
Everything must be grand [00:01:45]
Boo-ka-Pee they can't see me [00:01:48]
As long as I've got me head in the sand [00:01:51]
Peek-a-Boo it may be true [00:01:54]
There's something in what you've said [00:01:57]
But we've got enough troubles in everyday life [00:01:59]
I just bury me [00:02:02]
From a sheltered oasis a mile away[00:02:16]
I observed that dreadful scene [00:02:20]
And a single plume came floating down[00:02:23]
Where my Ostrich friend had been [00:02:27]
Because he could not bear the sound[00:02:30]
Of these words I had left unsaid;[00:02:34]
'Here in this nuclear testing ground[00:02:38]
Is no place to bury your head '[00:02:42]
