What does little birdie say
In her nest at peep of day?
Let me fly, says little birdie
Mother, let me fly away
Birdie, rest a little longer
Till the little wings are stronger
So she rests a little longer
Then she flies away

Baby says, like little birdie
Let me rise and fly away
Baby, sleep a little longer
Till the little limbs are stronger
If she sleeps a little longer
Baby too shall fly away
