"Canary" lyrics - DANNY O'KEEFE

Canary sings a song she learned waiting for the night
Standing on the corner always asking for a light
Or change, or maybe just a moment
Hey, baby, just a moment
Say, buddy, can you spare the time

Her father was a banker but his interest was in rum
Her sister flew united and her brother tried to bum
For change, for maybe just a moment
Hey, baby, just a moment
Say, buddy, can you spare the time

So long, it's been so long
Canary sing your song for me

Yellow plastic raincoat, yellow plastic shoes
She's got a brand new plastic outfit
Says you pay for what you use
She's changed, for maybe just a moment
Hey, baby, just a moment
Say, buddy, can you spare the time?

So long, it's been so long
Canary sing your song for me
