We sing a bit louder

Little Birdies Song

[ speak the words and do actions ]

Way up in the sky [ jump high ]

The little birds fly [ flap arms ]

While down in the nest [ form nest with arms ]

The little birds rest [ hands next to head like napping ]

Shhh! THEY'RE SLEEPING! [ stage whisper shhs! shout they're sleeping ]

With a wing on the left [ fold left arm under ]

And a wing on the right [ fold right arm under]

The little birds sleep [ hands next to head like napping ]

All through the night

Shhh! THEY'RE SLEEPING! [ stage whisper shhh! shout they're sleeping ]

The bright sun comes up [ jump high with arms above head ]

The dew goes away [ hands like banging on a keyboard ]

Good morning, good morning the little birds say [ raise arms up and down ]
