lyrics

It’s easy to get down in the basement.
You’re underground, you’re already half there.
And sometimes, yes, even I
Feel a tear well in my eye.
But there’s a song in all the
hearts of those with ginger hair.

They are soothing sounds
Flapping wings and squawking beaks
And we belong down here
‘Cause we’re humble, fair, and meek
With our hair the hue of carrots
Got a question? Ask the parrots!
If you want a badge of merit
Fix the radon leak!

Hang from the rafters,
Sit on the floor,
Pick up some feathers,
Claw at the door.
Buddy, we got no worries, problems,
or bores, living life underground.

It’s a busy life
With my clock, cooking steaks.
Since my husband drowned
I have never had a break.

Our walls are pretty avian,
Our dwelling subterranean,
Don’t even think of waking him
A big mistake.

Face it (face it) we cookin' parrots in the basement (birds)
Sweatshop full of gingers in this basement
I'm getting (work) gingerbread (money)
Vodka in my ginger ale (power)
Redheaded sluts I ain't even tryin' to nail (bitches)

Hang from the rafters,
Sit on the floor,
Pick up some feathers,
Claw at the door.
Buddy we got no worries, problems,
or bores, living life underground!
