I’m A Bird

They blink their eyes in the sun

Go back to sleep your slumber isn’t done

You sleep all day, stay up all night

The nocturnal creatures who hoot ’til light

Whooty hoot hoot hoot. Whooty hoot hoot hoot

Do the owl salute. Whooty hoot hoot hoot

Chorus

Now spread your wings and fly like a bird

And land on one foot and shout these words,

I’m a bird. I’m a bird. I’m a bird, have you heard?

They fly straight up and go backwards

Do all kinds of stunts they to the tiniest bird

They hover motionless and sip nectar juice

A whirlin’ and a twirlin’ goes the hummingbird

Hummmmmmmmmmm ummmmmmmmm

Chorus

Extreme in size she’s a flightless bird

She runs thirty-five miles an hour I heard

She lays the largest and the most colorful eggs

Those ostriches and their outrageous legs

Strut your stuff, strut your stuff, that’s not enough

You gotta strut your stuff

Chorus

There are long-legged waders with stilt-like legs

They stand in shallow water and go in for their prey

They have a long neck and a big bent bill

The flamingos on one foot as he waits for his meal

Stand on one foot and then the other, you may even want to lean on another

Chorus
