Little Birdy with the Silly Name, The

DESCRIPTION: "Early in the morning, When I'm fast asleep. I heard a little chirping, I heard a little peep. It's from a little birdy, With the funny name" (which is designed to twist the tongue). The singer may feed the bird to silence it; the window may fall on it

NOTES [36 words]: Although rarely published, Internet searches reveal that this is very popular as a camp song, with many variations (not all of them in the name of the bird, although that varies a lot), so I'm including it here. - RBW
