The One Feather Tail of Miss Gertrude McFuzz
[Gertrude]
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo doo...
There once was a girl bird named Gertrude McFuzz
And she had the smallest plain tail ever was
One droopy-droop feather, that's all that she had
And oh, that one feather made Gertrude so sad

She curled it, she dyed it, she gave it a puff
She decked it with flowers
But it wasn't enough
For no matter what
It just was what it was
A tail that simply wasn't meant
To catch the eye of an elephant
The one feather tail of Miss Gertrude McFuzz
