Chee Chee-Oo Chee
( Sang the Little
Bird )
( Cheep-cheep, cheep-cheep! . . . )
Oh, once on a tree-top tall a little
bird
sang out the sweetest song I ever
heard!
Chee Chee-Oo Chee it sang to me so
merrily
Chee Chee-Oo Chee the little birdie on
a tree
Life's such a lovely thing, it seemed
to say
if you will only sing your cares
away!
Chee Chee-Oo Chee so merrily you went
along
Chee Chee-Oo Chee so happily his
little song!
And so . . . Chee Chee-Oo Chee . . .
I
sing . . . Chee Chee-Oo Chee
Chee Chee-Oo Chee this happy, happy
little thing!
If you . . . Chee Chee-Oo Chee . . .
feel blue . . . Chee Chee-Oo Chee
Sing Chee-Oo Chee and you can be as
happy too!
Life's such a lovely thing, it seemed
to say
Chee Chee-Oo Chee, Oo Chee Oo Chee!
if you will only sing your cares
away!
Chee Chee-Oo Chee, Oo Chee Oo Chee!
< instrumental break >
And so . . . Chee Chee-Oo Chee . . .
I
sing . . . Chee Chee-Oo Chee
Chee Chee-Oo Chee this happy, happy
little thing!
If you . . . Chee Chee-Oo Chee . . .
feel blue . . . Chee Chee-Oo Chee
Sing Chee-Oo Chee and you can be as
happy too!
Sing Chee-Oo Chee and you can be as
happy too!
Sing Chee-Oo Chee and you can be as
happy too!
