(G. Johnson/APJJ/W. Don)
There is a pretty bird who sings a pretty song
She sits outside my window and she sings the whole day long
I know the song she sings 'cause it reminds me of my girl
And how I wish I knew just how to find her in this world
It doesn't matter just how far away she'll be
If you could find her could you send her home to daddy?
I told the pretty bird who sings the pretty song
I've loved her from afar and I've loved her for so long
Won't you spread your tiny wings and fly around this world
Tell me that you're gonna help me find my little girl?
It doesn't matter just how far away she'll be
If you could find her could you send her home to daddy?
It doesn't matter just how far away she'll be
If you could find her could you send her home to daddy?
And so the pretty bird who sings a pretty song
Has flown away and left me and I don't know where she's gone
I learned to sing a song that you could hear around the world
That's how I'm gonna sing until I find that little girl
It doesn't matter just how far away she'll be
If you could find her could you send her home to daddy?
It doesn't matter just how far away she'll be
If you could find her could you send her home to daddy?
It doesn't matter just how far away she'll be
If you could find her could you send her home to daddy?
