The Heater - The Mutton Birds

Frank bought a heater

An electric heater

The elements were made of wire and clay

He reached out to touch and he heard a voice say

And he heard it say

«Come on and plug me in

I want to feel that heat begin

Don’t move till the morning comes

And you can fly up to the sun

So come on and plug me in

Plug me in

Plug me in»

Frank liked his heater

His electric heater

Upstairs alone with the elements

He dreamed of gold and frankincense

(frank, frank, frankincense)

And he heard it say

«Come on and plug me in

I want to feel that heat begin

Come close and listen while I sing

I won’t melt your precious wings

So come on and plug me in

Plug me in

Plug me in»

«Come on and plug me in

I want to feel that heat begin

Although my body is rusting through

I have carried this song for you…

It’s from the Sphinx and the Serpent too

So plug me in"
