( Chip, chip chip! . . . )



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!







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!
