Sometimes birds don't have enough to eat
|
There's not enough food in the fields or the streets
|
There are too many cities where there used to be trees so it's left up to you and me
|
Everybody loves to hear a bird sing (whistle)
|
The prettiest music you have ever heard here's how to make friends with the bird
|
|
First you get some peanut butter out of a jar
|
And you can buy a bag of bird seed anywhere
|
You mix it all together and you put it on the ground
|
And pretty soon the birds come around
|
Everybody loves to hear...
|
|
Some people buy spray and they spray it on the land
|
They kill all the little bitty bugs that they can
|
The birds eat up the bugs and it makes them sick I wish we didn't have to do that
|
Cause everybody loves to hear...
|
|
Right now you're young and you're not very tall
|
You're really very busy and you're rally very small
|
Someday when you're older and things go wrong you've gotta need a pretty bird song
|
Because everybody loves to hear...
