Morning magpies warble loudly Sitting in the treetops proudly. Greet us singing, early sunrise Warble loudly morning magpies. Melodies sweet always bringing Early sunrise, greet us singing.

Clear sunshine or rainy weather They're harmonised when together These magpies I am glad their mine Rainy weather or clear sunshine. Around, always...
