Lyrics
Beware! Beware!
There’s trouble in the air
A funny looking bird
Is leaving presents ev’rywhere
Beware! Beware!
It’s useless to resist
You’d better have a care
Maybe you’re on his list
He’ll fly along the stratosphere
Then do a “loop-the-loop”
And make a perfect landing
Right on your front stoop
Chorus
Look out for Mister Stork
That persevering chap
He’ll come along and drop
A bundle in your lap
You may be poor or rich
It doesn’t matter which
Millionaires they get theirs
Like the butcher and the baker
So look out for Mister Stork
And let me tell you, friend
Don’t try to get away
He’ll find you in the end
He’ll spot you out in China
Or he’ll fly to County Cork
You’d better look out for Mister Stork
Chorus
Look out for Mister Stork
That persevering chap
He’ll come along and drop
A bundle in your lap
You may be poor or rich
It doesn’t matter which
Millionaires they get theirs
Like the butcher and the baker
So look out for Mister Stork
Who calls at all the zoos
With little teddy bears
And baby Kangaroos
I tell you he’s persistent
And he’ll find you in the end
Your old fine feathered friend
