How High Can A Little Bird Fly? 1935 'Follow The Sun'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 03 May 2002

Look in the Book of Knowledge,
Something I'm in doubt about,
Right in the middle of a riddle,
And you can help me work it out.
Get out the old statistics;
See what the figures show,
There's a bit of information
I am longing to know.

How high can a little bird fly?
Is there a ceiling to the sky?
I'm feeling higher than the ceiling
Higher than a bird can fly!
How far is the tiniest star
Of all the tiny stars there are?
I've got a feeling that I'm feeling
Higher than the highest star!
My heart's dancing to a singsong,
Happy spring song!
What a magic spell I'm under!
Love is making me wonder
How high can a little bird fly?
Is there a ceiling to the sky?
I'm feeling higher than the ceiling,
Higher than a bird can fly.

How high can a little bird fly?
Is there a ceiling to the sky?
I'm feeling higher than the ceiling
Higher than a bird can fly!
How far is the tiniest star
Of all the tiny stars there are?
I've got a feeling that I'm feeling
Higher than the highest star!
My heart's dancing to a singsong,
Happy spring song!
What a magic spell I'm under!
Love is making me wonder
How high can a little bird fly?
Is there a ceiling to the sky?
I'm feeling higher than the ceiling,
Higher than a bird can fly.

I wrote a note to Whitehall,
Said what I was aiming at,
They only set up a committee,
So that's the last we'll hear of that.
I question'd Doctor Einstein,
"Please help me out!" I cried;
"You're a guesser, Herr Professor."
But the Doctor replied

How high can a little bird fly?
Is there a ceiling to the sky?
I'm feeling higher than the ceiling
Higher than a bird can fly!
How far is the tiniest star
Of all the tiny stars there are?
I've got a feeling that I'm feeling
Higher than the highest star!
My heart's dancing to a singsong,
Happy spring song!
What a magic spell I'm under!
Love is making me wonder
How high can a little bird fly?
Is there a ceiling to the sky?
I'm feeling higher than the ceiling,
Higher than a bird can fly.

How high can a little bird fly?
Is there a ceiling to the sky?
I'm feeling higher than the ceiling
Higher than a bird can fly!
How far is the tiniest star

Higher than the highest star!
My heart's dancing to a singsong,
Happy spring song!
What a magic spell I'm under!
Love is making me wonder
How high can a little bird fly?
Is there a ceiling to the sky?
I'm feeling higher than the ceiling,
Higher than a bird can fly.
