He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singing his song
All the little birds on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
Chubby Cheeks, dimple chin
Rosy lips, teeth within
Curly hair very fair
Eyes are blue, lovely too
Teacher's pet, "is that you"
Yes, yes, yes.
Once I saw a little bird, go hop, hop, hop
So I said little bird, will you stop, stop, stop.
Then was going to the window to say,
"How do you do?"
But he shook his little tail and a way he flew.
Your rake and shovel and wheelbarrow bring,
Let's go plant a garden this morning in spring;
Dig little trenches, and clear out the weeds;
Sprinkle some water, then drop in the seeds.
Be sure to cover them well 'fore you go;
Now rake the top over and leave them to grow.
Shine, merry sunshine, and fall, gentle rain!
Tend to my garden 'til I'm back again.
If I had a donkey that wouldn't go,
Do you think I'd beat him? Oh no, no!
I'd put him in the barn and give him some corn,
The best little donkey that ever was born!
