Huma-Huma-mow-mow, Huma-mow-mow-mow
Well don't you know about the bird?
Well, everybody knows that the bird is the word!
A-well-a bird, bird, b-bird's the word”
Ever since that song was popular and someone asks me "what's the word?", I always say "Bird". Since about halfway through the 80's, more and more people look at me like I'm weird or something when I say that. Youngsters might know all about text-messaging, but at least I know what "THE WORD" is.
