After many years, I recently overheard the correct version of He’s a Poor Little Budgie.
For no apparent reason, I’d always been singing:
He started to sing
So we thought we’d come in

For years I used to sing about a bloke called Keffrey, always wondered why he wasn't called Geoffrey. |  |

Did you ever track him down? | |

When my grandad took me to Portman Road in the 60s/70s we all sang “his feathers all tattered and torn” (I still do). Yet da yoofs around me seem to sing something else, nowadays.
Does anyone know when (and why) this changed? |  |

He's only a poor little budgie,
His shirt is all tattered and torn,
He started to sing,
So we filled a form in, *
And posted it through his front door.
The Cease & Desist form read:
"Please desist from singing you little yellow and green c...
..hap, because your trophyless club has given you not one reason to sing in all its long and ignominious history, has it?"
* We had to put it on the form, because we couldn't get it to scan in a song. |  |

I go “shirt”. Do they go “face”?
This is becoming like Trigger’s broom - maybe I’m just singing a completely different song.  | |

Pretty cool to know it was sang as far back as the 60s - when was it first sang ? |  | | |

He came from Chelsea originally, I believe, so he may have gone back there? | |

It sounds like it’s possibly “his shirt is”, nowadays. | |

Isn’t it:
He's only a poor little budgie,
His shirt is all tattered and torn,
He started to sing,
So we sang God Save The King,
And then ran off to sign up for Reform. |  |

I still sing feathers. I hadn't even realised others weren't!
Then again, I only recently recognised the correct lyrics for Free From Desire.
I had always wondered what type of musical instrument a trombolese was until I heard them right.
My lover's got no money, he's got his trombolese. |  |

I had a similar situation with the same song. Heard it on an away day as a child and heard, "so we threw the cat in". Seems my brother thought it was better to have me not know the real words, so never corrected me. I think I was ignorant of the real lyrics for quite a while! |  | | |
