Chickadee by Liz23

chickadee, dee dee dee dee
every morning sitting on our lilac tree
singing out a little morning song for me
what a lovely little way
to begin another day in our front yard

chickadee, dee dee dee dee
won’t you tell me what is your philosophy
if by chance it turns out that we disagree
well i wouldn’t care at all
just as long as you still on our front yard

still i sometimes wonder if you’re safe and warm
when it begins to snow
when it’s ten degrees below
and the icy wind is blowing madly
do you have a home where you can raise a little family of your own and when your kids have grown
will they take after their dear old dad?
chickadee, dee dee dee dee
every day you’re such delightful company
dropping by to say o so cordially
always jolly, never rude
won’t complain about the food in our front yard
chickadee, dee dee dee dee
tell me are you just what you appear to be
just a happy little soul in harmony
with the critters who come ‘round
you’re the nicest one we’ve found in our front yard
