Lyrics
Pink Flamingo
She's a little sentimental, she can be a little hard
She's looking out the window of the car at all the little front yards
She's tired of the big plan and the small time too
That so-called one bedroom place, and all the little things that we can't do
Chorus:
She wants a pink flamingo (3x)
On a lawn
I thought I could spend the money, I thought more would come my way
I am interested in the future, but I can't seem to make it pay
I've got no expectations, I try to be patient as I wait
Love is sweet, yeah, love's so sweet, then it seals your fate
Chorus
The radio was playing oldies from before we were even born
Nobody listens much to Fabian or the Moonglows anymore
I thought I heard the DJ say, rock and roll is here to stay
Was that the last time anybody played the Chantelles on the radio?
Chorus
