Early In the Morning
(leader sings a line, everyone repeats)

Early in the morning
When I’m fast asleep
I hear a little chirping
I hear a little peep
It’s from the little birdy
With the funny name
It’s a kliney-kliney-feegle-fugle-ushen-a-backing-a-beagle-bugle-air-ack-a-splitting- uh-loud-and-blooming bird

(this section is sung without repeats)

It wakes me in the middle of my dreaming, dreaming,
Dreaming of the one I love, I love.
Smack in the middle of my kissing, kissing, kissing
The one that I’m dreaming of.

(back to repeating each line)

So I’m gonna get some birdseed
For my windowsill
It’s just to keep him busy
It’s just to keep him still
It’s for the little birdy
With the funny name
It’s a kliney-kliney-feegle-fugle-ushen-a-backing-a-beagle-bugle-air-ack-a-splitting- uh-loud-and-blooming bird

A what?
(slowly) It’s a kliney-kliney-feegle-fugle-ushen-a-backing-a-beagle-bugle-air-ack-a-splitting- uh-loud-and-blooming bird.
CHIRP CHIRP!!!!!
