Lyrics

A little bird told me that you love me
And I believe that you do
This little bird told me I was falling
Falling for no one but you
There’s no use denying
I might as well confess
Of all the girls I know, dear
I’m sure I love you best
A little bird told me we’d be happy
And I believe that it’s true
A little bird told me we’ll be married
And I believe that it’s true
This little bird told me when we marry
We’ll have a pretty cottage not too far
All fenced in like a movie star
Great Dane pup we’ll call him “Ace”
Lying there by the fireplace
Goldfish pond and a wishing well
Ev’rything is gonna turn out swell
A little bird told me we’d be happy
And I believe that it’s true
And now I know that it’s true
In June it’s bound to come true
SPOKEN: “Love that little bird”
