The checklist blues

(Sung to a slow blues rhythm)

I’ve gots 142 birds

but that’s not enough for youz

You want somethin’ new

I’ve gots the checklist blues

I took you to the east

I found you 4 birds blue

You want something’ new

I’ve gots the checklist blues

We went through the south

the red birds we did see

You want somethin’ new

I’ve gots the checklist blues

In the great north we survived the storm

for a boreal owl to see

You want somethin’ new

I’ve gots the checklist blues

four thousand miles

and only 142

you want somethin’ new

I’ve gots the checklist blues
