Oh! The chirruping of the birdies
on the sycamore tree,
They're lucky to be
so happy and free:
I know that they're chirruping out
a little ditty to me:
I hear them saying early ev'ry morn:
"Get up! Get up! Get up!"
The chirruping of the birdies
on the sycamore tree
it's lovely to see
them having a spree;
A cheeky one this morning
popp'd upon the sill and said:
Whistle "Get out of bed!"

Hopping about and skipping about,
and flopping about and nipping about
The whole day through
and the funny little things they do,
Oh! I know they would amuse you too.
Flying a bit and doing a jig
and looking for grit and pecking a twig,
Their necks all screwed;
Then I seem to hear them say:
"Get out of bed!
Shift your lazy head
Don't you know that Dicky wants
his little piece of bread?"

Oh! The chirruping of the birdies
on the sycamore tree,
They're lucky to be
so happy and free:
I know that they're chirruping out
a little ditty to me:
I hear them saying early ev'ry morn:
"Get up! Get up! Get up!"
The chirruping of the birdies
on the sycamore tree
it's lovely to see
them having a spree;
A cheeky one this morning
popp'd upon the sill and said:
Whistle "Get out of bed!"
