Carol of the Winterbirds
Who’s that in our garden, hey
To sing on Christmas Day ?
A chirpy robin redbreast
Who has come to lead the way.
Who’s that in our garden, hey
To sing on Christmas Day ?
The cooing of a pigeon
Who will counterpoint our lay,
And a chirpy robin redbreast
Who has come to lead the way.
Who’s that in our garden, hey
To sing on Christmas Day ?
The croaking of a crow
To bring the bass beneath the fray,
With the cooing of a pigeon
Who will counterpoint our lay,
And a chirpy robin redbreast
Who has come to lead the way.
Who’s that in our garden, hey
To sing on Christmas Day ?
The drumming of a woodpecker
Who’s beating on the bay,
With the croaking of a crow
To bring the bass beneath the fray,
And the cooing of a pigeon
Who will counterpoint our lay,
And a chirpy robin redbreast
Who has come to lead the way.
Who’s that in our garden, hey
To sing on Christmas Day ?
A choral flock of starlings
Who arrive to dance and play,
And the drumming of a woodpecker
Who’s beating on the bay,
And the croaking of a crow
To bring the bass beneath the fray,
And the cooing of a pigeon
Who will counterpoint our lay,
And a chirpy robin redbreast
Who has come to lead the way.
Who’s that in our garden, hey
To sing on Christmas Day ?
A bright soprano blackbird
With an awful lot to say,
With a choral flock of starlings
Who arrive to dance and play,
And the drumming of a woodpecker
Who’s beating on the bay,
And the croaking of a crow
To bring the bass beneath the fray,
And the cooing of a pigeon
Who will counterpoint our lay,
And a chirpy robin redbreast
Who has come to lead the way.
Who’s that in our garden, hey
To sing on Christmas Day ?
A special guest-star parakeet
Who’s song is here to stay,
With a bright soprano blackbird
With an awful lot to say,
And a choral flock of starlings
Who arrive to dance and play,
And the drumming of a woodpecker
Who’s beating on the bay,
And the croaking of a crow
To bring the bass beneath the fray,
And the cooing of a pigeon
Who will counterpoint our lay,
And a chirpy robin redbreast
Who has come to lead the way.
