Pretty bird, Pretty bird, yes, yes, yes
Who ooo, who, ooo
Pretty bird, Pretty bird, yes, yes, yes

Peter...Peter...Peter
Cheat... cheat... cheat...cheat
Peter...Peter...Peter

Those are the words that I heard them say
As I sat on my porch
Dwindling time away

The sun was sinking
My chores were all done
The birds were a chattering
Up in the trees
And I sat there listening
Wondering what their
Songs were really
All about.

Perhaps it twas about the events
Of their day
Or perhaps they were just happy
That the sun had shone today

For whatever reason
They had to sing
They orchestrated it well
And they brought me more joy
Then my tongue can tell

Curious birds..
Bet you thought this
Poem was all through
And I did too
But just as I started in
My front door

Another bird hollared
Bob White, Bob White

Well I declare
I will never know what
Those birds are talking about!

I know what they were talking about. They were discussing going down south to make a
deposit on my car. Seems the word is out that it's open season on white cars.
