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
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!
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!
