Funny how random kids TV shows will stick with us like that... Just for thoroughness, I've transcribed the lyrics from the archive.org link above. The last line of the chorus, denoted in brackets, changed slightly on each iteration of it. THE GOONIE-BIRD SONG (George Kleinsinger and Joe Darion) Oh, once there was a goonie bird who lived in a big bell tower And every time he tried to sing, the bells would ring the hour! He opened up his little mouth and gayly flapped his wings CHORUS Then then great big bell went boom, bang The middle-sized bell went clang-clang-clang The little, little bell went tingle-tingle-ting [And nobody heard that goonie bird sing] He met a lady goonie bird and he began to woo her He said "I'll make a lovely song, and I will sing it to her" But when he opened up his mouth and started in to sing CHORUS [And she never heard...] The lady bird, she said to him, "I never cared for singing But how I love your lovely voice, it sounds just like bells ringing" And so he put a wedding band upon her pretty wing CHORUS [And they were wed one morning in spring] Boom, bang, clang-clang-clang, clink-clink-clink-clink-clink They lived there without a care though nobody ever heard That goonie bird sing That goonie bird sing That goonie bird sing That goonie bird sing
