Where be it Blackbird to?
I know where he be
He be up your wurzel tree

Now I sees he, and he sees I

With a girt big stick, I’ll knock him down
Blackbird, I’ll have thee

People try to put us d-down (talkin’ ’bout my generation)
Just because we get around (talkin’ ’bout my generation)

I hope I die before I get old (talkin’ ’bout my generation)
This is my generation
This is my generation, baby
