During the talking intro he plays the verse progression which is
hey bob! hey bob!
say whats that old bird you got up in that cage?
"why this here is the old dodo bird"
a dodo bird?
"aint you ever heard of a dodo bird before?"
no ive never even seen one before
"that would make this the last one in existence"
last one in where?
"last one in the world see"

"im just tryin to make some money,
now can you see this here, an old singin dodo bird"

"thats right"
so what you doin down there dodo bird?
"well im just sittin on this, h-hmm, im just sittin on this cage
gonna sing a tune"
well lets here it then..
nothing, nothing can be right
when everything is wrong
nothing can be wrong
when im walking with my baby
i wish that i was
i said
nothing, nothing can be right
when everything is wrong
nothing can be wrong
when im walking with my baby
i wish that i was
my baby quit me for a long tall handsome man
with something i aint got
nothing can be wrong
when im walking with my baby
when im not i feel so lonesome
nothing, nothing can be right
when everything is wrong
nothing can be wrong
when im walking with my baby
i wish that i was
nothing, nothing, nothing can be right
oh dodo it sounds like you got too much bad luck man
"oh i sure know i got bad luck and misery."
short like you dont have a neck dodo bird?
"give me 5 dollars and listen all about it now look here"
everytime that i telephone
she dont return my calls
if i cant smile when i feel blue
man ill never smile at all
nothing, nothing can be right
when everything is wrong
nothing can be wrong
when im walking with my baby
i wish that i was
nothing, nothing, nothing can be right
when everything is wrong
nothing can be wrong
when im walking with my baby
i wish that i was
