See that bluebird on a limb
He wants you to fly away with him
He wants you to wear a featherly vest
And he wants you to sleep in a featherly nest
But he can't have you, no, no, no
I ain't gonna let you go
Birds in the sky you'd better see
My little birds are staying with me
See that fish down in the sea
He wants you to paddle away from me
He wants you to splash and bubble and swim
He wants you to live in the water with him
But he can't have you, no, no, no
I ain't gonna let you go
Birds in the sky and fish in the sea
My little fishes are staying with me
Hear that lion roaring in the Zoo
He wants you to come and live there too
But he don't know that when you're crying
You can roar louder than any ole lion
So he can't have you, no, no, no
I ain't gonna let you go
Birds and fish and lions better see
My little animals are staying with me
Yes they are
