How Winnie Hatched The Little Rooks

"Oh! minkery—tinkery—winkery weeShe's got her cage and she thinks she'll get me!Well, minkery—tinkery. We shall see."

"I know where there's lots to eatCaw, Ca-aw, Caw!I know where there's a field of wheatCaw, Ca-aw, Caw!The farmer sows that he may reapBut the Scarecrow's nodding and fast asleep.Who cares for the Scarecrow?"

"Flying and fun and food all day,Caw, Ca-aw, Caw,Flying and fun and meat and play,Caw, Ca-aw, Caw,We've sat on the backs of fat old sheep.High up in our tree tops."

"Spread out my dear, tuck in your legs,Caw, Ca-aw, Caw;Attend to your business—eggs is eggs,Caw, Ca-aw, Caw;It's not the first time you've been toldThat if you let your eggs get cold.We shall have to send for the doctor."

"My goodness me! I am surprisedCaw, Ca-aw, Caw,Till now I never realized,Caw, Ca-aw, Caw,That lady Rooks could be pink and white,With feathers of snow and eyes so bright.It really sets me fluttering.Such a lady rook I have never seen,Caw, Ca-aw. Caw,Such a lady rook sure has never been,Caw, Ca-aw, Caw.I really can think of nothing to say,I feel so shy I could fly away.My gracious! I hope she'll admire me."

"Come off the tree you silly things,Caw, Ca-aw, Caw.The only way to use your wings,Caw, Ca-aw, Caw,Is to know that you were made to flyAnd then flap and sail into the sky.For that's all there is in flying."
