[Intro.]
Lit-tle bird (Lit-tle bird)
Sing with me, (Sing with me)
Sing with me, Sing with me.

[Verse 1]
Two lit-tle birds are we
We car-ol all the day
We flit from tree to tree,
And pass the hours a-way

We spend our days in song
And hap-py is our life
The world may jog a-long
We en-vy not its strife.

[Chorus]
(voice 1)Whis-tle while I sing Rest your wear-y wing
Hap-py birds are we Sing-ing on the tree.
(voice 2)Whis-tle while I sing Rest your wear-y wing
Hap-py birds are we, Sing-ing on the tree.

[Verse 2]
We've built a lit-tle nest
And we have built it strong
'Tis there at night we rest
When we have ceased our song,

When stars be-gin to peep
And Crick-ets gai-ly sing
We snug-ly go to sleep
Our heads be-neath our wing.

[Chorus]
(voice 1)Whis-tle while I sing Rest your wear-y wing
Hap-py birds are we Sing-ing on the tree.
(voice 2)Whis-tle while I sing Rest your wear-y wing
Hap-py birds are we, Rest-ing on the tree.

[Verse 3]
Oh if the world could see
How birds all dwell in peace
Then hate would nev-er be
And love would nev-er cease,

The gay and feath-ered throng
Re-joi-ces all the day
This world was made for song
Drive care and grief a-way.

[Chorus]
(voice 1)Whis-tle while I sing Rest your wear-y wing
Send the news a-long Love is all a song.
(voice 2)Whis-tle while I sing Rest your wear-y wing
Send the news a-long Love is all a song.

[Coda]
Lit-tle bird (Lit-tle bird)
Sing with me, (Sing with me)
Sing with me, Sing with me.
