a 1922 novelty song
words and music by Harold Weeks
The sheet music:
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
In the wilds of Bunk-a-hunk-a-boo Land
Lives the Fuzzy Wuzzy Bird
And upon my word, such a bird
I can’t understand
How he got that way I never could see
If they had him in a show
Everyone would go just to know
Such a bird could be
Chorus
Oh, the Fuzzy Wuzzy Bird!
Full of funny feathers so absurd
And the queerest song that anybody ever heard
Fuzzy Wuzzy Bird
In the Alfaloola tree
There he sits as mournful as can be
Why he’s sad most anyone can see
Sittin’ all alone in a tree
When the sun is sinking low
For a ladder he will holler so
He has got a mile or more to go
And he travels slow ’cause he can’t fly, you know
Tell me isn’t it absurd?
Did you ever hear of such a bird?
No, you never ’cause of him nobody ever heard
Fuzzy Wuzzy Bird
