Three crows sittin' in my backyard
Sittin' on my wooden fence
One crow go
Two crow stay
Wonder where the other crow went
I'm facin' a long, long day
Didn't get to sleep last night
But if I candelabra
You know I'll be alright
Two crows left tryin' to break a thing
Break it on top of a post
Peck it with their beak and they
Crush it with their claws
But it's more resilient than most
I'm facin' a long, long day
Didn't get to sleep last night
But if I candelabra
I'll make it through alright
Finally they break it open
They got one sunflower seed
They got two crows
They got one seed and that's
One seed less than they need
I'm facin' a long, long day
And I didn't get to sleep last night
Ah, but if I candelabra
Ah know Ah be alright
Back to the fence come the first crow
See what the other ones got
He been fly
Around in July
And you know in July it's hot
I'm facin' a long, long day
And I didn't get to sleep last night
Ah, but if I candelabra
Ah know Ah be alright
Finally we got three crows
Only one piece of food
All of 'em go
'Cuz all of 'em know
They ain't in a sharin' mood
I'm facin' a long, long day
And I didn't get to sleep last night
Ah, but if I candelabra
Ah know Ah be alright
Now I got an empty backyard
Except for the sunflower seed
But I'm a man
And big as I am
That's a lot less food than I need
I'm facin' a long, long day
And I didn't get to sleep last night
Ah, but if I candelabra
Ah know Ah be alright
