Don’t forget the birds (this Christmas) – Lyrics

1st Verse:

If you feed birds
then they will sing
all through cold winter
time and spring
and oh what joy
their voices bring.
Please, don’t forget the birds.

2nd Verse:

A garden
that is filled with birds;
a more cheerful sound you’ve
not heard
than feathered friends
exchanging words.
Please, don’t forget the birds.

Chorus:

And when they flock together
upon a Christmas Day,
in cold, wintery weather
what do you think they say,
in those chirpy, little voices
so full of goodwill and cheer?
They say “Have a Happy Christmas
and a very merry New Year”.

3rd Verse:

‘cause winters harsh
and cold and bleak
those baby birds
with chubby cheeks
will gather to fill
up their beaks.
Please, don’t forget the birds.

4th Verse:

Why not give them
a Christmas treat;
put out some food
for them to eat
soon you will
hear the tweet-tweet-tweet
of happy little birds.

Chorus:

And when they flock together
upon a Christmas Day,
in cold, wintery weather
what do you think they say,
in those chirpy, little voices
so full of goodwill and cheer?
They say “Have a Happy Christmas
and a very merry New Year”.
