Tom T. Hall - Everybody Loves To Hear A Bird Sing lyrics
[Tom T. Hall - Everybody Loves To Hear A Bird Sing lyrics]
Sometimes birds don't have enough to eat
There's not enough food in the
Fields or the streets
There are too many cities where
There used to be trees
So it's left up to you and me
Everybody loves to hear a bird sing
The prettiest music you have ever heard
Here's how to make friends with the bird
First you get some peanut butter out of a jar
And you can buy a bag of bird seed anywhere
You mix it all together and you
Put it on the ground
And pretty soon the birds come around
Some people buy spray and they
Spray it on the land
They kill all the little bitty
Bugs that they can the birds eat up the bugs
And it makes them sick
I wish we didn't have to do that
Right now you're young and
You're not very tall
You're really very busy and
You're really very small
Someday when you're older and
Things go wrong
You've gotta need a pretty bird song
There's not enough food in the
Fields or the streets
There are too many cities where
There used to be trees
So it's left up to you and me
Everybody loves to hear a bird sing
The prettiest music you have ever heard
Here's how to make friends with the bird
First you get some peanut butter out of a jar
And you can buy a bag of bird seed anywhere
You mix it all together and you
Put it on the ground
And pretty soon the birds come around
Some people buy spray and they
Spray it on the land
They kill all the little bitty
Bugs that they can the birds eat up the bugs
And it makes them sick
I wish we didn't have to do that
Right now you're young and
You're not very tall
You're really very busy and
You're really very small
Someday when you're older and
Things go wrong
You've gotta need a pretty bird song
