about

I loved learning about flamingo behaviour for this song, and imagined a cast of characters variously marching, dancing and teaching us yoga moves!

lyrics

The pink flamingo fling

Meet Marina Maraschino, the stretchy pink flamingo
She leads the pink flamingo wing display
All the other pink flamingos, follow her where she goes
And do their level best to keep the pace

Outstretched go her wings for a second
See her black flying feathers underneath
And the rest stretch their wings out wide
Then they fold them back just in time for tea

It’s the pink flamingo fling
It’s the pink flamingo fling
It’s the pink flamingo fling we can all join in
Cos flamingos are a merry kind of band

The pink flamingo fling

Meet Concertina Charlie, the daring pink flamingo
He directs the marchers as they turn
So many pink flamingos, putting on a marching show
This way, that way and return

To the left - to the right
Pink flamingos in sync as they follow
Concertina and the band, all the pink flamingo fans
Heads high, legs stride

It’s the pink flamingo fling
It’s the pink flamingo fling
It’s the pink flamingo fling we can all join in
Cos flamingos are a merry kind of band

Meet Valentina Vita the calmest of flamingos
Balancing on one long leg with ease
It’s a simple kind of style, can you hold it for a while?
Pink flamingo yoga is a breeze

Pink Flamingos

Meet Ballerina Bindi, the little grey flaminglet
Fluffy feathers shiver as she points pink feet
Little grey flaminglets, copy all her dance steps
First, second, third, point, twirl then repeat!

It’s the pink flamingo fling
It’s the pink flamingo fling
It’s the pink flamingo fling
We can all join in
Cos flamingos are a merry kind of band
Everybody
Flamingos are a merry kind of band
All together
Flamingos are a merry kinda band

Pink flamingos
Pink flamingos
Pink flamingos
Pink flamingos
Pink flamingos
Pink flamingos
Pink flamingos
Pink flamingos
