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 sооn 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
