(Al Johnson - Billy Rose - Dave Dreyer)

That bird with feathers of blue is waiting for you
Back in your own backyard
You'll see your castles in Spain through your window pane
Back in your own backyard.

Oh you can go to the East or go to the West
But someday you'll come
Weary at heart back where you started from
You'll find your happiness lies right under your eyes
Back in your own backyard.

That bird with feathers of blue is waiting for you
Back in your own backyard
You'll see your castles in Spain through your window pane
Back in your own backyard.

Yeah, you can go to the East or go to the West
But someday you'll come
Weary at heart back where you started from
You'll find your happiness lies right under your eyes
Back in your own backyard.

Go to the West
But someday you'll come
Weary at heart
Back where you started from
You'll find your happiness lies
Right under your eyes
Back in your own backyard...
