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
