If I Could Be a Mockingbird
If I could be a mockingbird
And fly above the world
I could hear the gossip
Perched on the telephone line
I could go to the park
And dine on popcorn
I could take a vacation every winter
Oh, what a simplistic life it would be,
A mockingbird listening on the world

The Canary's Song
I look up in the sky
And what do I see?
A pretty canary singing to me.
Such a lovely sound from
Such a beautiful bird
Even though he never says a word
