Or honey—yes, that would be best—oh, best!
But what do you think he found, found, found?
Why, six little eggs all round, round, round,
And a mother-bird on the nest,
Oh, yes!
The mother-bird on her nest.
He laughed, “Ha! ha!” and he laughed, “He! he!”
The boy with the little bare toes.
But the little mother-bird got up from her place
And flew right into his face, ho! ho!
