Cherries! Cherries! Cherries!

The robins are excited and delighted

To change the fare at last;

For ’twas bugs and grubs and slugs

Over two months past.

Now it’s cherries till the berries

Ripen full and fast.

Cherries! Cherries! Cherries!The robins are excited and affrighted;There’s a man up the treeIn a big wig and rigThat would scare a chickadee—But a robin—see him bobbin’In a solemn colloquy!

Cherries! Cherries! Cherries!

The robins are excited and affrighted;

There’s a man up the tree

In a big wig and rig

That would scare a chickadee—

But a robin—see him bobbin’

In a solemn colloquy!

Cherries! Cherries! Cherries!The scare-crow is indicted and requitedWith a pocketful of eggsBaby-blue, with ’em tooGettin’ ready bill and legsFor the Summer that’s a comerWhen the cherry-season begs.

Cherries! Cherries! Cherries!

The scare-crow is indicted and requited

With a pocketful of eggs

Baby-blue, with ’em too

Gettin’ ready bill and legs

For the Summer that’s a comer

When the cherry-season begs.

Cherries! Cherries! Cherries!The robins are excited and delighted—Not the redbreast but the kindThat eclipse with cherry lipsAnd are not a whit behindRobin Jerries stealin’ cherriesWhen the dummy’s but a blind.

Cherries! Cherries! Cherries!

The robins are excited and delighted—

Not the redbreast but the kind

That eclipse with cherry lips

And are not a whit behind

Robin Jerries stealin’ cherries

When the dummy’s but a blind.
