| Of all the birds that I do know
|
| Philip my sparrow hath no peer
|
| For sit she high, or sit she low
|
| Be she far off, or be she near
|
| There is no bird so fair, so fine
|
| Nor yet so fresh as this of mine
|
| For when she once hath felt a fit
|
| Philip will cry still:
|
| Yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet
|
| Yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet
|
| For when she once hath felt a fit
|
| Philip will cry still:
|
| Yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet
|
| Yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet
|
| Come in a morning merrily
|
| When Philip hath been lately fed;
|
| Or in an evening soberly
|
| When Philip list to go to bed
|
| It is a heav’n to hear my Phipp
|
| How she can chirp with merry lip
|
| For when she once hath felt a fit
|
| Philip will cry still:
|
| Yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet
|
| Yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet
|
| For when she once hath felt a fit
|
| Philip will cry still:
|
| Yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet
|
| Yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet
|
| She never wanders far abroad
|
| But is at home when I do call;
|
| If I command she lays on load
|
| With lips, with teeth, with tongue and all
|
| She chants, she chirps, she makes such cheer
|
| That I believe she hath no peer
|
| For when she once hath felt a fit
|
| Philip will cry still:
|
| Yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet
|
| Yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet
|
| For when she once hath felt a fit
|
| Philip will cry still:
|
| Yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet
|
| Yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet |
