Lyrics
- Have you heard birds in spring?
Have you noticed the way they sing
While they feather their nest
For the one they love best?
Well, that’s what I’m doing, too
For a little bluebird who
Flew my way somehow
And see how I feel now
Chorus
I go around the town, happy all the time
Never wear a frown, ’cause I know that I’m
Feathering a nest for a little bluebird
Busy as a bee, saving every dime
Work is play to me, ’cause I know that I’m
Feathering a nest for a little bluebird
I’ll have it ready for her in spring
It’s the cunningest thing
With a little lawn, and I got it on easy payments
There’s a tiny room for another one
Hope we have him soon after I get done
Feathering a nest for a little bluebird
- She brought me happiness
That’s the reason, as you might guess
Why I gave her that name
She’s my Bluebird, I claim
Oh, what a nest, we will build
Do our best to keep it filled
What bliss that will be
And that’s why, as you see
