A bird in a cage can't use its wings 

One day she might refuse to sing 

You'll find some feathers on the floor and an open door 



Ooh Ooh whatcha gonna do 

When your little bird flies away 

Hey Hey, Ooh Ooh whatcha gonna say 

Whatcha gonna do 

When your little bird flies away 



A bird in a cage is on display 

People they poke and stare all day 

If she can get those bars to bend 

She won´t be back again 



Ooh Ooh whatcha gonna do 

When your little bird flies away 

Hey Hey, Ooh Ooh whatcha gonna say 

Whatcha gonna do 

When your little bird flies away 



Free to touch the sky 

She never dreamed she´d ever fly so high



Ooh Ooh whatcha gonna do 

When your little bird flies away 

Hey Hey, Ooh Ooh whatcha gonna say 

Whatcha gonna do 

When your little bird flies away
