'Crowtel' California!! They come... like clockwork... Regular... just before the night Pieces of a huge black blanket... Helter-skelter in their flight   They come by thousands from... Wherever they spend their day And by sun-up in the morning... They've all gone away   They are spooky... noisy... dirty Their droppings are a pity You cannot help but wonder why They've chosen Yuba City   Our busy parking lots are filled... With trees (required by law) Instead of parking space, a place For birds to come and "caw"   Just ask the city council, folks... They should know quite well They're the ones who pass the laws To make this big 'Crowtel'   All hail, the environmentalist Who bring merchants to their knees By sacrificing customer space... Demanding ornamental trees   In those trees, in dark of night... (They never think to warn ya)... Roost the noisy, 'protected' birds ...In 'Crowtel' California!!
