Lyrics
There on the window sill on the pane a-tapping
Sat a little feathered friend
Dear little dickey-bird on the window rapping
Messages he had to send
Soon I got the trend
Chorus
A dickey-bird whispered “Haven’t you heard
Spring is here, spring is here, spring is here”
A little crow sang a happy hello
“My favourite time of the year”
A little frog sang a song on his log
“Lose your blues, lose your blues, lose your blues”
And you and I fell in love in reply
On hearing the dickey-bird’s news
If you have to look around to find a reason
For such a wonderful thing
You can blame it on the sentimental season
Falling in love is done in the spring
The bobolink looked at us with a wink
“Atta boy atta girl nothing’s wrong”
When you’re in love you’ll go swinging along
A-singing the dickey-bird song
Chorus
A dickey-bird whispered “Haven’t you heard
Spring is here, spring is here, spring is here”
A little crow sang a happy hello
“My favourite time of the year”
A little frog sang a song on his log
“Lose your blues, lose your blues, lose your blues”
The whippoorwill did a “triple A” trill
On hearing the dickey-bird’s news
And the cuckoo sang a “cuck-oo” to the bluejay
Who told the lark in the park
Who responded “How-dya do and how-dya do, jay
How would-ja like to go for a lark?”
The bobolink said “I think that I think
winter’s o’er, winter’s o’er, winter’s o’er”
The dickey-bird said “I give you my word
It ain’t gonna snow anymore”
