Little Jimmy Dickens Miscellaneous May The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose May the Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose Artist: Little Jimmy Dickens (peak Billboard position # 1 in 1965) Words and Music by Neal Merritt One fine day as I was a-walkin' down the street Spied a beggar man with rags upon his feet Took a penny from my pocket In his tin cup I did drop it I heard him say as I made my retreat CHORUS "May the bird of paradise fly up your nose" "May an elephant caress you with his toes" "May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose" "May the bird of paradise fly up your nose" The laundry man is really on his toes Found a hundred-dollar bill among my clothes When he called me I came a-runnin' Gave him back his dime for phonin' I heard him sayin' as I turned to go CHORUS I was way behind one day to catch the train Taxi driver said "We'll make it just the same" The speed cop made it with us And as he wrote out the ticket I stood by politely a-waitin' for my change CHORUS CHORUS FADE CHORUS Transcribed by Ronald E.
