The Little Red Lacquer Cage 1922 'Irving Berlin's 2nd Annual Music Box Revue'

Locked in a cage
I'm sad as I can be
singing my song
all the day long.
It seems I can hear
the forest calling me,
how I keep longing
just to be free,

I'd love to leave
my little red lacquer cage,
and fly away out there
where I could sing my beautiful song;
In the forest where I belong.
The little birds that live in a tree,
would love to hear my sweet melody;
I hate to sing
the song that God gave to me
in a little red lacquer cage.

I'd love to leave
my little red lacquer cage,
and fly away out there
where I could sing my beautiful song;
In the forest where I belong.
The little birds that live in a tree,
would love to hear my sweet melody;
I hate to sing
the song that God gave to me
in a little red lacquer cage.
