Be my bird

 Don't be a turkey



Be a goose



But if you're gonna goosy gander

I'm gonna cut you loose

Don't be a chicken


Let me count on you

Darling just be my bird


You could be a little robin


You could be a blackbird bobbin


You be a Hawk in the sky


You could have an eagle eye

You could hear that chorus sing

You could even sleep on the wing



All you need to do is hear my word

You just need to be my bird


Don't you be dead as a dodo


Just nod your head while saying no, no


Don't you be an Albatross round my neck


Just climb my rigging til you reach my deck

And even if you fly hell for leather


I know that we'll still be birds of a feather


So darling just be my bird


If you want to catch the worm

You better feather your nest so we stay warm



You can be my night owl


Don't be a cuckoo on the prowl



You might walk proud like a peacock



Or Fly from the cloud as a thunder bolt shock




Out of the blue unseen

Be my bluebird Queen

Darling just be my bird


Be my kingfisher on the pond



Cast your fishhook eyes and I'll catch on

You can be my duck and I'll wash your back



It would be my luck if you washed me back


Be my lark and sing me song



When it gets dark I'll love you so long

As you just be my bird
