The Ostrich - Flander & Swann
Peek-a-Boo I can't see you
Everything must be grand
Boo-ka-Pee they can't see me
As long as I've got me head in the sand
Peek-a-Boo it may be true
There's something in what you've said
But we've got enough troubles in everyday life
I just bury me head
Oh Ostrich consider how the world we know
Is trembling on the brink
Have you heard the news may I hear your views
Will you tell me what you think
The Ostrich lifted its head from the sand
About an inch or so
You will please excuse but disturbing news
I have no wish to know
Oooh Peek-a-Boo I can't see you
Everything must be grand
Boo-ka-Pee they can't see me
As long as I've got me head in the sand
Peek-a-Boo it may be true
There's something in what you've said
But we've got enough troubles in everyday life
I just bury me head
Then I noticed suddenly where we were
I saw what time it was
Make haste I said It'll be too late
We must leave this place because
He stuffed his wingtips into his ears
He would not hear me speak
And back in the soft Saharan sand
He plunged his yellow beak
Oooh Peek-a-Boo I can't see you
Everything must be grand
Boo-ka-Pee they can't see me
As long as I've got me head in the sand
Peek-a-Boo it may be true
There's something in what you've said
But we've got enough troubles in everyday life
I just bury me
BOOM)
From a sheltered oasis a mile away
I observed that dreadful scene
And a single plume came floating down
Where my Ostrich friend had been
Because he could not bear the sound
Of these words I had left unsaid
Here in this nuclear testing ground
Is no place to bury your head
