[Spoken Intro] Right, listen up, you beautiful mob — It’s that time of year again. The sun’s out, the barbie’s hot, And somewhere up in that damn tree… That bloody storm bird's back in town. Yeah, mate. He’s loud, he’s shameless, And he don’t care if you’ve got work in the morning. So grab a cold one, find your voice, And let’s give it up for the loudest little legend in the neighbourhood! [Verse 1] I woke at five with a scream in the trees, Not a siren, not a ghost, just a bird with no ease. He’s perched in the gum tree, glossy black and proud, Yelling “KOO-EEE!” loud enough to wake the whole crowd. [Pre-Chorus] The magpies roll their eyes, the possums hit the floor, The neighbours say, “Is that a car alarm once more?” [Chorus] ‘Cause the bloody storm bird's back in town again, Singing like a rock star with a megaphone grin. He’s got no manners, he’s got no shame, But spring’s arrived and he’s calling his name. Koo-eee! Koo-eee! Let the warm winds blow, The bloody bird's back — and honestly, we know: It’s annoying, it’s absurd, but it’s part of the sound Of an Aussie summer coming around. [Verse 2] The Esky’s packed and the deck chairs out, The neighbours are yellin’, there’s a bit of a shout. The barbie’s smokin’, the sausages hiss, And the bird's up top like, “You don’t wanna miss this!” He’s got no ticket, but he’s headlining the show, One note, all night, and the whole street knows. We raise our glasses to that feathered pest — The loudest little legend in the summer fest! [Pre-Chorus] Turn it up, mate, let the speakers roar, Thongs on the floor and a cold one at the door The backyard’s jumpin’, the sky’s gone gold, And that bloody bird's got the whole street sold! We’re yellin’ at the moon with the windows down, One more round in this one-horse town. The band kicks in and the night comes alive — ‘Cause the storm bird's back, and we’re here to survive! [Chorus] ‘Cause the bloody storm bird's back in town again, Singing like a rock star with a megaphone grin. He’s got no manners, he’s got no shame, But spring’s arrived and he’s calling his name. Koo-eeel! Koo-eeel! Let the warm winds blow, The bloody bird's back — and honestly, we know: It’s annoying, it’s absurd, but it’s part of the sound Of an Aussie summer coming around. [Bridge] By midnight he’s still going, like a broken smoke alarm, By dawn he’s found a higher branch and turned up all the charm. And though I curse that feathered DJ in the tree, When he finally flies off north, I won’t miss his melody. [Final Chorus] Yeah, the bloody storm bird's back in town again, Screamin’ from the gum tree like he’s got no shame. He’s loud, he’s proud, he’s a one-bird band, With a koo-eee echo ’cross the whole damn land! Koo-eeel! Koo-eeel! Let the good times roll, Summer’s in the air and it’s taking its toll. From the backyard barbie to the corner pub, We’re all singin’ along to that feathered nob! So here’s to the stormbird, that cheeky old mate, Turnin’ up the volume, never showin’ up late. He’s annoying, he’s magic, he’s part of the sound — The bloody bird's back, and we’re not glad he’s around! [Outro] So if you’re sick of the same old scream, And that koo-eee’s messin’ with your dream, Just look up, laugh, and shake your head — “Mate, change your tune,” is all that’s said. Koo-eee! Koo-eee! Give it a rest, Even a legend needs a new request. From the backyard barbie to the corner pub, We love ya, — but change it up, mate! [Spoken Outro] Alright, alright, settle down, you mob — He’s done it again. Same note, all night, Like a broken smoke alarm with feathers. But hey, mate… we still love ya. Just next time you’re up in that gum tree, Do us a favour — Change your bloody tune!.....Please KOO-EEEL!..........
