I am Burt, the urban bird
I've got one wing that doesn't work
But I have built a bottle rocket that'll pop me off the earth
Shoot for the stars? Nah, that ain't me
I'm just aimin' for that tree
But I would settle for a hedge, both as a bet and literally
When your dubiety finally ebbs and you can find me overhead
I am a bottle rocket astronaut, just watch it and you'll see me
Catchin' up to everybody, makin' it look easy
Breakin' chains with aviation
Natural selection never saw me comin' baby
I am Burt, the urban bird
I've got one wing that doesn't work
But I've got whippets in my nest
But if they ask, you never heard that
Wanna raid me? They can try, here's a slice of pumpkin pie
But in the backyard I've expanded to a fledgling enterprise
See that goldfish, in the bird bath?
You get three hints to guess who did that
We put a turtle on a mailbox and a hedgehog on a trash can
We've got funding coming through, and big announcements coming sะพะพn
We pledge by 2026 we'll put a gopher on the roof
I am a bottle rocket astronaut, just watch it and you'll see me
Catchin' up to everybody, makin' it look easy
Breakin' chains with aviation
Natural selection never saw this comin' baby
We choose to go to the other thing (Not because it's easy)
Not to the moon, not to the moon, to the other thing
Not because they are easy, but because they are hard
(It's just to prove we can)
Because that challenge is one that we're willing to accept
(It's not because it's easy)
And one we intend to win
I am a bottle rocket astronaut, watch it and you'll see me
Catchin' up to everybody, makin' it look easy
Breakin' chains with aviation
Now we got Charlie Darwin freakin' rolling in his grave (Eyy!)
Little critters in the sky, little critters in the sky
Little critters in the sky, little critters where they don't belong
Little critters in the sky
I am Burt, the urban bird
Keep me down? Doesn't work
