Three Little Birds
Three little birds
Sat upon a tree.
The first said “Chirrup!”
The second said “Chee!”
The third said nothing,
(The middle one was he,)
But sat there a-blinking,
Because he was a-thinking.
“Pee-wit! pee-wit! Yes, that is it!
Pee-wip, pee-wop, pee-wee!”
Three little birds
Sat upon a bough.
The first said, “When is dinner-time?”
The second said, “Now!”
The third said nothing,
(The middle one was he,)
But sat there a-blinking,
Because he was a-thinking.
“Pee-wit! pee-wit! Yes, that is it!
Pee-wip! pee-wop! pee-wee!”
Three little birds
Flew down to the ground,
And soon, by working very hard,
A fine fat worm they found.
The third flew down between them,
(The middle one was he,)
And ate it up like winking
Because he had been thinking.
“Pee-wit! pee-wit! Yes, that is it!
Pee-wip! pee-wop! pee-wee!”
