One day I bought a parrot,
I bought him on a whim.



The breeder said he is a male,
so I decided to call him Jim.



They say parrots can learn to talk,
this was something I had to see.



So I took him to a trainer,
who was as pretty as can be.



It took so long to teach him,
she worked with him for months,
Then she tried to get him
to do some silly stunts.



Then one day out of the blue,
he screeched out this wolf call.
The next thing out of his mouth,
was give me a kiss, doll.



One day I took him with me.
and headed out in the car.
Just headed to the grocery store,
to show him to my friend Gar.



I'd forgotten to bring my glasses,
and I really couldn't see.
The next thing I knew,
there was a cop, behind me.



I saw a red light flashing,
and knew I had to stop.
Over to the side I pulled
and up comes this cop.


He told me I was weaving,
but he let me off the hook.
Just gave me a written warning,
then closed his ticket book.



As he walked away from me.
my bird let out his call.
And following right behind it,
was give me a kiss, doll.



The judge wasn't to consoling,
he just brought down his hammer.
And so it was to be,
I ended up in the slammer!
