Tweet, tweet, polly wanna quack quack
Hoot hoot, cock-a-doodle-do-do
Bock bock, coo coo a tick tock
Bird is the word

The strangest thing that you'll ever see
Is fifty-seven wacky birds in a tree
Of most of them, I'm sure you've heard
Except the Bandy-Legged Bubble-Brained Booby Bird
The most unusual breed
But they're so hard to see
I got my book with me
To help with my discovery
So many different birds
Like the Bandy-Legged Bubble-Brained Booby Bird
I don't know if you have heard, but bird is the word
(That's right!)

Bock bock, coo-coo a tick tock
Bird is the word

Chicken wings a flapping, ducks a quack quacking
Rooster is a crowing, honking and a blowing
Robin with a red breast, mother hen in her nest
Eagle flying, jays squawking, bandy-legged booby talking
