A great song and a great movie. The song is getting the attention it deserves in this thread! I found an mp3 awhile back using a Gnutella peer to peer client.
For what it's worth, here's my transcription (added to from lyrics previously posted)
All you little birds better lock up tight
'Cause there's a foul owl on the prowl tonight.
Hey, little lark, get outta the dark.
Foul owl on the prowl.
Cute little jay, stay outta his way.
Foul owl on the prowl.
You just might be the quail he'll tail.
Foul owl on the prowl.
You just might be the swallow he'll follow.
Foul owl on the prowl.
If you hear him hoot, scoot.
If you pass his tree, flee.
If you catch his eye, fly.
Don't wait to say goodbye.
He's gotta a yen for a pretty little hen.
Foul owl on the prowl.
He's hungry for a chick so get home quick.
Foul owl on the prowl.
(howling... laughter... scary sounds...)
If you hear him hoot, scoot.
If you pass his tree, flee.
If you catch his eye, fly.
Don't wait to say goodbye.
He's gotta a yen for a pretty little hen.
Foul owl on the prowl.
He's hungry for a chick so get home quick.
Foul owl on the prowl. (repeating to fade)
