Keith Harris and Orville the Duck - I wish I could fly

Orville's Song (I wish i could fly)

Orville: I wish I could fly way up to the sky but I can't,
Keith: You can,
Orville: I can't!
Orville: I wish I could see what folks see in me but I can't,
Keith: You can,
Orville: I can't!
Keith: Look, Orville,
Orville: Yes?
Keith: Nothing that you can say
Will change how I feel today:
I know that we'll never part;
Now hear what I'm saying, Orville?
Orville: Yes?
Keith: Who is your very best friend?
Orville: You are.
Keith: I'm gonna help you mend your broken heart.
Orville: Thank you.

Orville: I wish that I had a mummy and dad but I don't,
Keith: You don't?
Orville: I don't!
Orville: I often pretend my sadness will end but it won't,
Keith: It will,
Orville: I won't!
Keith: Look, Orville,
Orville: Yes?
Keith: Now that I'm here with you,
There's nothing that you can't do,
So why don't you make a start
And hear what I'm saying, Orville?
Orville: Yes?
Keith: Who is your very best friend?
Orville: You are.
Keith: I'm gonna help you mend your broken heart.
Orville: Ahhh...

Orville: So does this mean although I'm green
And not exactly bright,
You want to care and will be there
To tuck me in at night?
Keith: Well, I'll always be there, Orville!

Orville: The other birds laugh and say that I'm daft and I am,
Keith: You're not!
Orville: I am!
Orville: They tease me a lot and call me a clot and I am,
Keith: You're not!
Orville: I am!
Keith: Look, Orville?
Orville: Yes?
Keith: Nothing that you can say
Will change how I feel today:
I know that we'll never part;
Now hear what I'm saying, Orville?
Orville: Yes?
Keith: Who is your very best friend?
Orville: You are.
Keith: I'm gonna help you mend your broken heart.

[Spoken]
Orville: Thank you. 'Cos I've got a broken heart, haven't I?
Keith: Yes, I know, but I'm going to help you mend it.
Orville: You, you will do it, won't you. You'll help me?
Keith: Of course.
Orville: 'Cos you love me, don't you?
Keith: We all love you, Orville.
Orville: How, how, how much do you love me?
Keith: Ooh... this much!
Orville: As much as that?
Keith: Yeah.
Orville: Ahhh... my broken heart.

@death2hiphopnRnB Yep its really up with the likes of Grand Dad or the Birdy Song as the most awful songs of all time.

[Professor6871]

@footballgeorgiebest yes and wild orgies with other ducks in those years. I know its true because I read it once in the News of the World.
