Two little birdies all in the nest
One little birdie just a-takin his rest
Other little birdie jumps in the sky
Fly little birdie oh fly!
CHORUS
Little birdie why you fly so soon?
Little birdie why you fly so soon?
Has your mama been gone too long?
Has your mama been gone too long?
Crocodile waitin by the riverbend
Hasn't had a meal since I don't know when
Lookin down low, lookin up high
Little birdie tumbles from the sky
CHORUS X2
(Little birdie, little birdie; little birdie, little birdie)
Croc says, "Little fella don't you know
It's dangerous in this world alone.
Tales your mama tells are real
Now you're going to be my evening meal."
Just then come the sound of wings
Momma grabs her birdie and flies.....
CHORUS
Has your mama been gone too long?
