Lyrics:

Walkin’ down through Brixton town,
Shiny boots and my collar down.
Heard a bird sing high above,
Blackbird gave me a dose of love!

Said, “Hey bird, where’d you fly in from?
Cape Town coast or ol' Kingston?”
She winked at me and let out a coo
I caught a fever — now you’ve got it too!

I got blackbird Fever, can’t keep still,
Chasin’ all the blackbirds up Brixton Hill!
Doctor says, “Boy, you need a rest!”
But I just flap and puff my chest!

Cold sweats hit and my face turns red,
Feelin’ dizzy in my bed.
Hot flush rush — oh, what a ride!
blackbird’s song’s burnin’ up inside!

I got blackbird Fever, through and through,
No cure found in Timbuktu!
People snigger, people stare,
Blackbird love is everywhere!

Tried to sleep but I heard that song,
Now I’m hummin’ it all night long.
Heart’s still racin’, don’t know where,
Blackbird magic fills the air!

I got blackbird Fever, runnin’ wild,
Flappin’ my coat like a crazy child!
Feathers flyin’, can’t get enough,
Blackbird love’s my kind of stuff!
