She won’t get up to feed the swine;
She lies in bed till half-past nine—
Ay! truly she doth take her time.
WHAT DOES LITTLE BIRDIE SAY?
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.
