“Goodbye little yellow bird,
I’d gladly mate with you,
I love you little yellow bird,
But I love my freedom too.
…So goodbye little yellow bird,
I’d rather brave the cold
In a leafless tree, than a prisoner be,
In a cage of gold.”
["Sibyl Vance" (Angela Lansbury)
from the 1945 film adaption of
"The Picture of Dorian Gray"]
