Lyrics

  1. Some folks sing opera, some folks sing flat
    Some sing like sawing wood, I’m one like that
    But when the dicky birds sing in the trees
    I feel we ought to try and sing like these

Chorus
Let’s all sing like the birdies sing
Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet
Let’s all sing like the birdies sing
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet
Let’s all warble like nightingales
Give your throat a treat
Take your time from the birds
Now you all know the words
Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet

  1. Let’s all go on a diet, and let it be
    Groundsel for dinner and bird seed for tea
    Let’s all roost in the trees, or else, instead
    In your canary’s cage make up a bed
