Birds (tune: "Here we go round the Mulberry Bush")
This is the way we scratch for worms, scratch for worms, scratch for worms
This is the way we scratch for worms so early in the morning
This is the way we peck our food, peck our food, peck our food
This is the way we peck our food so early in the morning
This is the way we sit on our nests, sit on our nests, sit on our nests
This is the way we sit on our nests so early in the morning
This is the way we flap our wings, flap our wings, flap our wings
This is the way we flap our wings so early in the morning
