The Birdie Song

Thanks very much to Tammie, who e-mailed me this song!

Way up in the sky the big birds do fly

But down in the nest, the little birds rest

With a wing on the left, and a wing on the right

The little birds sleep all through the night

Shhhhhh! THEY'RE SLEEPING!!!!!

The sun in the sky, the dew drops do fall

The little birds wake, Good morning,

Good morning, the little birds say

I open my eyes and roll out of bed

I open the window and smash that bird's head

I recently received a second version of this song, complete with actions, courtesy of Megan Burns. Thanks!

Way up in the sky (hands thrown up)

The little birds fly (fly  with your hands)

Way down in the nest (rock your arms, like holding a baby)

The little birds rest (rest head on hands, ‘sleeping’)

With a wing on the left (‘flap’ left arm and bring behind)

And a wing on the right (same ‘flapping’)

The little birds sleep

All through the night (same ‘sleeping’ action)

SHHH! (whispered)

They’re SLEEPING! (shouted)

The bright sun comes up (make a sun)

The dew falls away (falling dew with hands)

Good morning, good morning (throw up hands at each ‘good morning’)

The little birds say
