lyrics

CH
I'd like for you to join me [yeah?]
When you come to old Cairo [where?]
You don't want to miss me [why??]
I'm the Cairo Marriott Crow.

I'm a two-tone crow [he's a two-tone crow]
I'm a cut above [a cut above]
No garbage for me and that is why
It's the Marriott I love!

V1
I'm easily fed [he's easily fed]
But carrion won't do [no garbage for you!]
Some Turkish bread [got a smart head!]
A beef bone or two [and a bit of ragout]
A lamb kebab [perhaps some crab?]
Perrier to drink [or the garden sink!]
I'll entertain you...
I'm a crow what thinks!!

CH
And here's where you will find me [where?]
When you come to old Cairo [there?]
I'm the talk of the garden tables!
I'm the Cairo Marriott Crow.

INSTR BRIDGE

V2
Forget those pyramids! [what?! why?]
I'm the better show [no!]
Old King Tut he's dead and gone [sorta...]
But I'm still on the go [better hop it...]
A crow's gotta do [carry on!]
What a crow's gotta do [true...]
So take a garden table
And I'll entertain you!

CH
So you know where to find me [of course!]
When you come to old Cairo [we'll go!]
I'll wait on your table too
I'm the Cairo Marriott Crow.

[Yes we know where to find you
When we come to Old Cairo
But please stay off our table
Oh Cairo Marriott Crow]

AND...a heap of impromptu dialogue while the piano player goes loopy!

about

Flying Tadpole Adelaide, Australia

The cutting satire, cruel humor, blue angst and general mayhem of the dark alter ego of Tim Fatchen. And the alter ego's alter egos. And occasional or persistent collaborators, including strange shack dwellers from Wallaroo in the most recent release.

Where is Wallaroo? Nothing to see here, move along... ... more
