Verse One
There once was a little birdie, tweetle leetle leet.
He sang to all the people in the park and on the street.
He sang tweetle leet leet all day long and the other birdies laughed
while he was singin' his song.

Chorus:
He sang tweetle leetle leet leet tweetle lee dee
He sang tweetle leetle leet leet tweetle lee dee
He sang tweetle leetle leet leet tweetle lee dool
And those other birdies thought that he was a great big fool they
said,

Verse Two:
'Little birdie, you are one crazy thing.
To think they pay attention to you or listen to you sing,
Why they don't even know you are there,' but the little birdie
turned and put his beak in the air and sang

Chorus:
He sang tweetle leetle leet leet tweetle lee dee
He sang tweetle leetle leet leet tweetle lee dee
He sang tweetle leetle leet leet tweetle lee dy
But the people on the sidewalk just kept passing on by.

Verse Three:
Now a poor little birdie, he could see that he'd been beat.
The people didn't listen in the park or on the street.
They were just too busy to hear him sing.
So a very sad little birdie took to his wing.
He flew to a treetop and he started to cry.
And as a tear dropped he looked up to the sky and thought
'I give up, from now on I won't sing anywhere.'
But then a soft little noise started filling the air,

Chorus:
He heard, tweetle leetle leet leet tweetle lee dee ('Hey, what's that noise')
Tweetle leetle leet leet tweetle lee dee ('It's those kids over there')
Tweetle leetle leet leet tweetle lee dee ('They're singing my song'
And a very happy birdie started singin' along,
They went tweetle leetle leet leet tweetle lee dee
They went tweetle leetle leet leet tweetle lee dee
They went tweetle leetle leet leet tweetle lee dall
And next week he's a singin' at Carnegie Hall
and go, tweetle leetle leet leet tweetle lee dee
We go tweetle leetle leet leet tweetle lee dee
We go tweetle leetle leet leet tweetle lee dong
And that my little friends is the end of this song!
