Y the Quale and the Vaguely Bird Noisly Enjoying Their Forbidden Tryst/I'd Be a Yellow Feathered Loon Lyrics

I'd be a yellow feathered loon for you, baby
Be a German shepherd on the moon for you, baby
Be a granulated spoon for you, baby
I'd be a camper in a photograph for you

Then when the sun has set
Romantic times have passed
And our conversations are a bore
I'll become a different man
So you can get to know me again

I'd be a rubber-banded flute for you, baby
Be an union parachute for you, baby
Be a baby that's a mute for you, baby
I'd be an insecurity in a Tibetan's head for you

Then when the sun has set
Romantic times have passed
And our conversations are a chore
I'll become a different man
So you can get to know me again

I'd be a uniform on an imbecile for you
If you want me to die trying, I will die to please you
I'd be a pepperminted rook for you, baby
Be an unhappy organ donor's book for you, baby
Be a straw covered in scum and gook for you, baby
I'd be a wrestler in a tuxedo shirt for you
I'd be an antacid with a brown wig on for you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

wow i expected more comments. this is in my oM top 5! i love the nonsense of it, it's such a sweet love song. it addresses the importance of not becoming routine and boring in a relationship. the dedication is touching that he will always be changing so they can continue to grow together.
