Bird in a tree, bird in a tree
What you doin' way up there?
Why do you sing, why do you sing?
Are you looking for your lady fair?
Did she fly away to another tree?
Do you know not where she hides?
All day you sing the same old song
She must be hard to find
Bird in a tree, bird in a tree
What's it like to be able to fly?
I figure if I had wings like you
Not a wasted day'd go by
I'd fly above the mountaintops
I'd do barrel-rolls and dives
I'd snack upon the wiggly worms
And be happy all my life
Bird in a tree, bird in a tree
What you doin' way up there?
Why do you sing, why do you sing?
Are you looking for your lady fair?
Did she leave you late in the summertime
After such a lovely spring?
Are afraid that come the winter
You'll be left in the cold and lonely?
Bird in a tree, bird in a tree
Who taught you to sing so well?
Do you know that I am listening?
Brother bird, can you even tell?
And though your love might be far away
Even another town
You sing your song all through the day
In case she comes around
Bird in a tree, bird in a tree
Oh, the Sun is getting wide
Soon the night will come
And the morning won't be for a while
So fare thee well, dear friend of mine
What a pleasure, I must say
We both should prob'ly get some sleep
Tomorrow's another day
