The Dickey-Bird Song - 1947

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK 06 Aug 2001

There on the window sill
On the pane atapping
Sat a little feathered friend.
Dear little dickiebird
On the window rapping messages
He had to send
Soon I got the trend.

A dickeybird whispered
"Haven't you heard
Spring is here,
Spring is here,
Spring is here."
A little crow sang a happy hello
"My favourite time of the year."
A little frog
Sang a song on his log
"Lose your blues
Lose your blues
Lose your blues."
And you and I fell in love in reply
On hearing the dickeybird's news.
If you have to look around
To find a reason
For such a wonderful thing,
You can blame it
On the sentimental season
Falling in love is done in the Spring.
The bobolink looked at us with a wink,
"Atta boy atta girl nothing's wrong."
When you're in love
You'll go swinging along
Asinging the dickeybird song.

A dickeybird whispered
"Haven't you heard
Spring is here,
Spring is here,
Spring is here."
A little crow sang a happy hello
"My favourite time of the year."
A little frog
Sang a song on his log
"Lose your blues
Lose your blues
Lose your blues."
The whiporwill did a 'triple A' trill
On hearing the dickeybird's news.
And the cuckoo
Sang a 'cuckoo' to the blue jay
Who told the lark in the park
Who responded
"Howdya do and howdya do, jay
How wouldja like to go for a lark?"
The bobolink said:
"I think that I think,
winter's o'er, winter's o'er, winter's o'er."
The dickeybird said:
"I give you my word
It ain't gonna snow any more."
