Gosh, you guys are quick and good! To be honest, I thought it would take a while for y'all to warm up to this one. With a big grin on my face, I'm handing out these Silver B.L.O.B.s to you:

Two to SharonA for:

I've been staying with my parents
All the month of May.
I've been staying with my parents
And I just got home today.
Can't you hear the mynah crowing,
Saying the word until he's hoarse?
Can't you hear the lawyer shouting:
"Mynah, say 'divorce' "?


AND

Oh, I want you to be a divorcee
'Cause I heard that old mynah of yours say
All that you (in my absence, of course) say
To your lover-girl over the phone!


To MMario for this lovely chorus:

She walks Chongqing, with her mynah bird tale
She visits the judge, and the mynah bird wails
"Nobody knows, nobody sees
Just the telephone and me..."


To Coal Mynah for:

I could tell the bird was lonely when I went to work you see
I could tell the bird was lonely so I turned on the TV
What is daytime TV about? D - I - V -O- R- C- E


And to the wonderful McGrath of Harlow for (taken from the 2nd version):

"I've been locked here in your prison,
I've been laughed at for your fun.
What have I to show for talking
since this Mynah's life begun?
Worn out beak and worn out tonsils,
Broken voice and seed that's stale,
You can take your precious birdseed,
Stuff it up your precious tail."


To mousethief for the hilarious:

Now, a mimic is this bird, of course
So how'd it learn to say the word "divorce"?
And "Be patient; wait a little more"
Unless you said it to your little wh***?
Now it's been a rotten week
Since I heard it from my birdie's beak


Whoa! You all are 'hot' today!!
