[DieHard the Hunter]

Reminds me of a great tune from the 1970’s that I haven’t heard since. Went something like:

“May the Bird of Paradise fly up yer nose...”

Anyone heard that tune? Or was it too obscure?

This is just from memory - no google.

May the bird of paradise fly up your nose.
May an elephant caress you with his toes.
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose.
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose.

I can’t remember the singer without googling. Probably Ray Stevens.

In the 70’s it may have been covered by Earnest Tubb.

“May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose”

A classic by Little Jimmy Dickens.

I have it on mp3, along with other such classics as “Welfare Cadillac,” “Drop Kick Me Jesus Through the Goal Posts of Life,” and “Thank God and Greyhound (You’re Gone).”
