Hey! my little Yellowbird,

What you doing there?

Like a flashing sun-ray,

Flitting everywhere:

Dangling down the tall weeds

And the hollyhocks,

And the lordly sunflowers

Along the garden-walks.

Ho! my gallant Golden-bill,Pecking ’mongst the weeds,You must have for breakfastGolden flower-seeds:Won’t you tell a little fellowWhat you have fortea?—’Spect a peck o’ yellow, mellowPippin on the tree.

Ho! my gallant Golden-bill,

Pecking ’mongst the weeds,

You must have for breakfast

Golden flower-seeds:

Won’t you tell a little fellow

What you have fortea?—

’Spect a peck o’ yellow, mellow

Pippin on the tree.
