Chorus:
I’m a little robin, skipping ‘cross the lawn
Picking up worms and singin’ my song
Cheer-up Cheerily, Cheerily Cheer-up
I’m a little robin skipping ‘cross the lawn
Verse 1
If I don’t get a worm, I don’t care
Spread my wings and I’ll take to the air
One less burden I have to carry
I can still fly, I can still be merry
(Chorus)
Verse 2
Protecting my robins, sons and daughters
And all them robin, robin nest robbers
When they hatch, they’ll fly from the tree
And come to my side to sing with me
(Chorus)
Verse 3
Gotta watch out for the fox on the ground
Hawks in the air, making their rounds
If I don’t see them coming, my friends will let me know
Listen for the sounds of the song sparrow
