1. Well, a pretty girl
Is like a little bird
She’s tender and she’s shy
And you never know
If she loves you
‘Til she goes flyin’ by
Flyin’ by, flyin’ by
‘Til she goes flyin’ by.
2. Well I often
Have wondered
What makes women love men
Then I sit back
And wonder
What makes men love them
But now I see this one’s for me
And I’ll love her ‘til I die
Yes now I see this one’s for me
And I’ll love her ‘til I die.
3. Now the cuckoo
Is a pretty bird
And the mockingbird she is too
And the both sing
In the summertime
Singin’ darlin, I love you
I love you, I love you
Singin’ darlin; I love you
