Birds Fly High (Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)

Birds fly high and bees fly low,

Caterpillars crawl and river flow,

Cats meow and cows go 'moo'.

Puppies bark and babies 'coo'.

So many things to see and hear,

I use my eyes and I use my ears.

Everything is growing,
The wind is gently blowing.
Spring is here, spring is here.
