Lyrics

Scouts repeat the leader after every line, and then everyone sings all four lines of the verse together before singing the next verse.

A yellow bird,
with a yellow bill.
Was singing on
My window sill.

I coaxed it in
With a piece of bread.
And then I hit
It on the head.

A tiny mouse
With tiny feet
Sat upon
My toilet seat

I pushed him in
And I flushed him down
And that little mouse
Went round and round

I called the doctor.
The doctor said.
My dear good man.
This bird is dead.

Variations

Alternative verses

I coaxed it in
With a piece of meat.
And then I crushed
It’s little feet.

I coaxed it in
With a chunk of cheese.
And then I smacked
It on the knees.

I coaxed it in
With a plate of spaghetti.
Then I hacked its wings
With my little machete.

I coaxed it in
with cold root beer.
And then I ripped
Off its right ear.

I coaxed it in
With a Tweety poster.
And then I popped
It in the toaster.
