Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Flansy (the one with glasses, not the one with "the hair") is married to Robin Goldwasser. Not only does she make all the puppets, she is also the often-appearing female voice (often harmonizing, and some occasional lead vocal) in many of TMBG songs.

Not that I'm a freakish fan that knows everything about the band...:rolleyes:
