Birds On The Table |
| Birds on the table pickin' at the crumbs |
| Look out birdies when the housemaid comes |
| She’s gonna catch you eatin' when she comes to clean the room |
| She’s gonna rattle your feathers with a three-foot broom |
| In the mornin' when the sun comes up above the sea |
| In the mornin' when my lady loves me |
| Birds on the juice glass sitting on the rim |
| Thanks for the juice it could use a little gin |
| Barbados blackbird what he likes the most |
| Is tellin' all the sparrows that’s the butter for the toast |
| In the mornin' when the sun comes up above the sea |
| In the mornin' when my lady loves me |
| O — they’re gonna finish up the coffee |
| O — a little bacon tastes great |
| O — it only needs a little pepper |
| Every little bird is gonna polish up his plate |
| Birds on the table talkin' while I eat |
| Hello baby, what a funny place to meet |
| Peckin' on the table, peckin' on the floor |
| Tellin' me tomorrow try to leave a little more |
| In the mornin' when the sun comes up above the sea |
| In the mornin' when my lady loves me |
| O — they’re gonna finish up the coffee |
| O — a little bacon tastes great |
| O — it only needs a little pepper |
| Every little bird is gonna polish up his plate |
| Birds on the table talkin' while I eat |
| Hello baby, what a funny place to meet |
| Peckin' on the table, peckin' on the floor |
| Tellin' me tomorrow try to leave a little more |
| In the mornin' when the sun comes up above the sea |
| In the mornin' when my lady loves me |
