Little Bird Little Bird

Little bird little bird fly away
the cat's in the bush and you're her prey
Wing it fast and take flight
or in her belly you're an easy delight
That squirrel in the tree chatters loud
that old cat ate his best pal
Other birds have long flown from fear
little bird little bird why are you still here
She's crouched and ready to leap
little bird little bird no time to peep
Just fly away to the moon
leave the old cat in a fit of fume
Little bird little bird safe in the sky
over the rainbow like the lullaby.
