Lyrics
1. I’m a lonesome little bird
Looking for a mate
If the right one says the word
I won’t hesitate
When she comes flying my way
Here’s what I’m going to say
Chorus:
Birds of a feather, just you and I
Someday together away we’ll fly
Off to a love-nest like love birds do
Somewhere I’ll build one for you
Who knows then maybe, two birds will sing
Rockabye baby, what joy ’twill bring
Birds of a feather can never go wrong
Helping each other along
2. All around the world I’ve sought
Someone of my kind
Two hearts with a single thought
Have been hard to find
I know I’ll meet her some day
Here’s what I’m going to say
