LULLABY OF THE ORIOLE

Your nest is all built, and your birdies are there,Hidden away from the draughts of the air;O pretty songster of garden and glen,Whistle again, birdie, whistle again!“Yapou-yapou! ha-ha! he-he!”Who taught you to build such a wonderful nest?There you may rock all the night in your rest,Swung by the breezes till morn cometh, then,Whistle again, birdie, whistle again!“Yapou-yapou! ha-ha! he-he!”O, pretty oriole, where is your mate?Still he is searching and breakfast is late.Call him from hill-top, call him from glen;Whistle again, birdie, whistle again!“Yapou-yapou! ha-ha! he-he!”
