Little Birdy

(James Downham, Mark Smith)

Little birdy sing outside my window
Sing to me each morning
Help me start the day
Little birdy sing outside my window
Sing to me a warning
And I’ll be on my way
And I’ll be on my way

Then I’ll run outside
And try to catch a feather from your brightly coloured tail
Put it in my favourite toque
The nice one that my Grandma bought
The one she got on sale
The one she got on sale

Little birdy told me I’d be a handsome boy
Little birdy told me I could play in space
Be an astronaut with a bird in a box
Be an astronaut with a bird in a box

Little birdy fly to me each morning
High into the sky
You ask the clouds to part
Little birdy fly with me each morning
Following my bus route
You know it off by heart
You know if off by heart

Then we get to school
You’re just a tad disgruntled that you have to wait outside
But I know you’re always there
You taught me about arithmetic
You taught me to divide
You taught me to divide

Little birdy told me I’d be a handsome boy
Little birdy told me I could play in space
Be an astronaut with a bird in a box
Be an astronaut with a bird in a box

Took a couple months to finish off my spaceship
Taking parts from cars and parts from clocks
Then I made a spacesuit from my old pajamas
Now my bird is safely in his box
Now the motor’s running
All the lights are blinking
Birdy starts singing – Off we go…
Ready, Set and Off we go!
Little birdy told me I’d be a handsome boy
Little birdy told me I could play in space
Be an astronaut with a bird in a box
Be an astronaut with a bird in a box

Bird in the box
Bird in the box
Bird in the box
