"I have a bird that whistles and I have birds that sing."
This lyric is one of the best blues lyrics of all time. As far as I know, blues legend Robert Johnson wrote the line, but back then, musicians "borrowed" lyrics here and there. The Lemon Song stole from Robert Johnson some too. Anyhow Blues bassist/writer Willie Dixon wrote the song. Anyhow, it's about having two women, one that whistles - that's the one you got at home, and one that "sings" - that's the other woman, the one on the side!
@NVarea Yes, but how about the last two lines: "I have a baby, won\'t do nothing oh! Oh, oh, buy a diamond ring." This third bird must be the absolute best one, because she is the true one "he" wants. But that entails commitment. Remember what Ward Clever said to June about escorting a glamour girl, "it is a disconcerting combination of pleasure and pain."
