Little Bird Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Little bird up in a tree
Looked down and sang a song to me
Of how it began

[Refrain]
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na

[Verse 2]
The trout in the shiny brook
Gave a worm another look
And told me not to worry
About my life

[Refrain]
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na

[Verse 3]
The tree in my own backyard
Stands all alone, bears fruit for me
And it tastes so good
[Bridge]
Where's my pretty bird?
He must have flown away
If I keep singing
He'll come back someday

[Verse 4]
At dawn, the bird's still gone
Guess I'll go mow the lawn
What a day, what a day
Oh, what a beautiful day this is

[Verse 5]
Little bird up in a tree
Looked down and sang a song to me
The trout in the shiny brook
Gave a worm another look
And told me not to worry about my life

[Outro]
A little bird looked down
And sang a song-ah! To me!
A little bird looked down
And sang a song-ah! To me!
A little bird looked down
And sang a song-ah! To me!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
