Lyrics
"Hi, " said the little leather-wing bat, " I'll tell you the reason that The reason that I fly by night It's because I've lost my heart's delight." Howdy dowdy diddle um day Howdy dowdy diddle um day Howdy dowdy diddle um day Hey lee lee little lye lee lo "Hi, " said the little turtle dove "I'II tell you how to gain her love Court her night and court her day Never give her time to say you nay." Howdy . . "Hi, " said the owl with head so white "A long old day and a lonesome night. " Thought I heard some pretty girl say Shе'd court all night and sleep all day." Howdy . . Hi said the woodpecker sitting on a fеnce I once loved a handsome wench She spread her wings and away went she And left me here a peckin' on a tree Howdy . . Sapsucker sucking up a holler gum tree "Once I once loved a fair lady She got saucy and from me fled Ever since then my head's been red." Howdy . . "Hi" said the old lady goose I had one and I turned him loose He flew back when times got hard To kick me around my own backyard." Howdy . . "Hi" said the rooster shakin' his comb My little hen, she won't come home My little hen, she just won't lay So I clap my wings and crow fer day." Howdy . . "Hi, " said the robin as he flew "If I were a young man I would have two If one got saucy and wanted to go I'd get me a new string for my bow." Howdy . . "Hi, " said the jaybird sitting in a tree "When I was a young one I had three Two got saucy and took to flight The one that's left don't treat me right"
