The Helicopter Song

Up like a bird and high over the city
 Three men are missing I heard the warder cry
 It must have been a bird that flew into the prison
 Or one of those new Ministers" said the warder from Mountjoy
 Early one morning as the branchmen they were sleeping
 A little helicopter flew in from the sky
 Down into the yard were some prisoners were walking
 "Get ready for inspection" said the warder in the 'Joy
 Up like a bird and high over the city
 Three men are missing I heard the warder cry
 It must have been a bird that flew into the prison
 Or one of those new Ministers" said the warder from Mountjoy
 Down in the yard through the pushing and the shoving
 Three of the prisoners they climbed upon the bird
 And up and away they went into the grey skies
 "I think someone escaped" said the warder in the 'Joy
 Up like a bird and high over the city
 Three men are missing I heard the warder cry
 It must have been a bird that flew into the prison
 Or one of those new Ministers" said the warder from Mountjoy
