To the tune of 'Delilah' ...

My Mynah

I saw the light in his eyes when I said I was leaving
To visit my parents. He said "Honey, sure, on you go"
I left my mynah
My mynah heard every word, and now I'm in the know

My my my, my mynah
Why, why, why, my mynah
I could see his love was ceasing to be
But I had no proof, that's the truth, 'til my mynah told me

Day after day on the phone my bird heard the pair talking
Whispers of loving and D I V O R C E
In time it learned them
It sang them to me, and I listened and longed to be free

My my my, my mynah
Why, why, why, my mynah
I could see his love was ceasing to be
But I had no proof, that's the truth, 'til my mynah told me

So to my lawyer I went, taking mynah bird with me.
"I want a divorce, and I want every penny he's got.
This bird's my witness"
But birds can't take oaths, so that oaf will got off like as not,

My my my, my mynah
Why, why, why, my mynah
You can swear, but in court they just don't seem to care
I'm sorry, my mynah, but justice is not always fair.

Here's the new plan that we've hatched between me and my mynah.
Here's a cassette, and the button to make it record
Next time he phones her
My mynah will press down the button and catch every word

My my my, my mynah
Why, why, why, my mynah
We'll be free, we'll find fame and end up on TV
Rich and happy forever, together, my mynah and me
Rich and happy forever, together, my mynah and me
