I believe the song you're after is:

Pigeon song by America

Well, I had me a pigeon

By the name of fred

But I done shot him

In the head

Had me a railroad

Down on the ridge

But I done blowed up

The bridge

Had me a dog

He was my best friend

But to him

I done put an end

Had me a farm

Sittin? pretty on the hill

But if you look

You?ll see it ain?t there still

I don?t know why I done it

Honest, it ain?t like me

But I ain?t sad now I done it

?cause a baby boy has got to be free

[gusaction]

thank you so much

[Earth-Angel]

You come from an interesting location Gus. Is it nice this time of year?

[_jr_]

Oh, I see how it is. Just brush the old guy off to the side.

[Earth-Angel]

I can't find the word 'pigeon' in Eloise...

(Eloise, Eloise, Eloise, Eloise)

(Who is the little girl who

Lives in the Plaza in New York)

That`s me, Eloise, I`m six

I live on the top floor

(Who is the little girl who knows

Everybody`s business in New York)

I spend an enormous

Amount of time in the lobby

I have to see what`s going on there

(Who`s on the telephone most of the day)

I have to call room service a lot

And tell them to charge it, please

And thank you very much

(Who`s in and out and up and

Down and in everybody`s way)

That`s what Mr. Salamoney says

And he ought to know

He`s the manager, for Lord`s sake

(Who`s up at break of day

Creating a terrible racket in the halls)

Sometimes I take two sticks

And skitter them along the woodwork

(Who has a lovely way of writing

Her name in lipstick on the walls)

My mother is thirty

And wears a three and a half shoe

(Who`s the little darling who`ll

Drive you out of your head

But you love her just the same)

After all, I`m only six

(Who`s the little girl who`s

Only good when she`s in bed

Eloise is her name)

That`s me, Eloise

(Eloise, Eloise, Eloise, Eloise)

(Eloise) that`s Nanny

She`s my nurse, she`s English

And wears tissue paper in her dress

And you can hear it

(Eloise, what are you doing)

Here`s the thing of it

I have to open that window wider

Because there`s this pigeon who

Keeps hanging around out there

And I`m gonna squonk him in his head

Your's is the right version, but this one is similar. It was the first one I found, so I ran with it.

[Earth-Angel]

Oh, Kay Thompson + Eloise + lyrics brings up this only:

Ev'ry night I'm there

I'm always there she knows I'm there

And heaven knows I hope she goes

I find it hard to realize that love was in her eyes

It's dying now, she knows I'm crying now

And ev'ry night I'm there I break my heart to please

Eloise, Eloise

You know I'm on my knees - yeah

I said please

You're all I want so haer my prayer

My Eloise is like the stars that please the night

The sun that makes the day, that lights the way

And when that star goes by

I'll hold it in my hands and cry

Her love is mine, my sun will shine

And ev'ry night I'm there I break my heart to please

Eloise, Eloise

You know I'm on my knees - yeah

I said please

You're all I want so haer my prayer

My Eloise, I'd love to please her

I'd love to care but she's not there

And when I find you, I'd be so kind

You'd want to stay, I know you'd stay

And as the days grow old, the nights crow cold

I wanna hold her near to me, I know she's dear to me

And only time can tell and take away this lonely hell

I'm on my knees to Eloise

And ev'ry night I'm there I break my heart to please

Eloise, Eloise

You know I'm on my knees - yeah

I said please

You're all I want so haer my prayer

You know I'm on my knees

I said please

You're all I want so hear my prayer

I'm confused now. Perhaps it is 'pick on me' night.

Sue, darlin, I'd never pick on you, you know that.
