My mother and I like to sit outside and listen to the birdsong of springtime. |
Red bird Blue bird, Sitting in a tree, Singing their songs, So nicely to me, Red Robin Blue Jay, How do you do, Puff up fluff up, Around me they flew, Tiny bird Brown bird, So pretty to me, Huffing their chests, Flying so free, Hummingbird, Mockingbird, How do you do, One buzzes around, And the other mimics sound, In the breeze of spring, When the trees are full, I sit on my swing, Just to hear them sing!
