lyrics

Little Bird.
Music and Lyrics by Thom Carter, Copyright Self Released Records 2012.

Little bird, when you sing,
I feel as happy as can be,
Little bird, up in the tree,
I hear you’re singing just for me,

Little baby, don’t you cry,
Flap your wings and take the sky,
Mammas gonna bake you a big warm pie,
And everything will be all right,
Yeah, everything will be all right,

Golden buttercup in the field,
All the butterflies dance for him,
Till the moon shines on their heels,
And they flutter on their way again,
And they flutter on their way again.

***

Oh, in the summer time,
You look so good,
You dance so fine,

Oh, in the summer time,
My love will bring you home.
***

Sugar, sugar, strawberries,
A little honey, a lot of cream,
That’s the way I’d like everything,
And tonight that’s how its gonna be,

You tie a ribbon in your hair,
I’ll wear my waistcoat and my hat,
We’ll look just like that happy pair,
That you see on the cover of a record,
That you see on the cover of a record.

***

Little bird, when you sing,
You make me happy as can be,
Little bird, Oh you’ll be Queen,
And I shall be the King,


Oh, in the summer time,
You look so good,
You dance so fine,

Oh, in the summer time,
Your love will bring you home,
Your love will bring you home.
