From the recordings Fee Comes Fourth and 86 - Galapagos Finch

Lyrics

He was a chirpy bird
From Equador
Wasn’t rich
He wasn’t poor
He just moved with the times
Or when he felt the pinch
Or otherwise he wouldn’t budge an inch
Galapagos Finch

There was smoke in the air
Fire arrived
He had the urge to fly
He had to survive
With the wind behind he fled
His continental cage
His friends haven’t seen him since
Galapagos Finch

It’s all in the beak
No he ain’t a freak
And just because the beak ain’t chic
Doesn’t mean that he won’t win
In this crazy game of life
Its all in the beak
Beak, b, beak, beak, beak, b, beak

He was a dull billed grassquit
The day he arrived
On the islands
At least alive
But he soon found out that
He had got the knack
To adapt to his new world was a cinch
Galapagos Finch

Finch had seed
He spread it around
On every island
His seedlings were found
Just like Daddy, but not quite the same
You shouldn’t need to be convinced
Galapagos Finch

It’s all in the beak
No he ain’t a freak
And just because the beak ain’t chique
Doesn’t mean that he won’t win
In this crazy game of life
Its all in the beak
Beak, b, beak, beak, beak, b, beak

That Finch hit Gold
His fame was sealed
He met Charlie
A guy who dealed
In promoting the claims of the little guy
So the frog became a prince (Evolution)
Galapagos Finch
So the frog became a prince (Evolution)
Galapagos Finch
So the frog became a prince (Thanks for your contribution)
Galapagos Finch

It’s all in the beak
No he ain’t a freak
And just because the beak ain’t chique
Doesn’t mean that he won’t win
In this crazy game of life
Its all in the beak
Beak, b, beak, beak, beak, b, beak

It’s all in the beak
No he ain’t a freak
And just because the beak ain’t chique
Doesn’t mean that he won’t win

In this crazy game of life

Its all in the beak
