It’s kinda cosy in this spot
We four have found today
Our bums are mighty warm indeed
At least that’s what we say
Our owner thinks we’re really cute
We think our owners’ crazy
She sits and laughs a mighty lot
She seems a little hazy
I smell something burning here
I wond’ what that could be
It must be owner cooking some
It’s must be time for tea
Is that the smell of chook I sense
Her hunger must be yearning
I shift my butt a little bit
I think there’s something burning
I look at pete he looks at me
We look at jill and jack
The temp is really hot today
I feel it on my back
Oh my I know the reason why
I’m beginning to perspire
I think we’d better move along
Our butts are all on fire!
We find ourselves a water bowl
And dive right in and sigh
The dog is watching us in awe
I guess he wonders why
We’re bathing in his water dish
All four and flapping crazy
I guess this could explain just why
Our owner acts so hazy
With four small birds about the house
Who do the darndest things
You’re bound to go a little craz’
We’re Circus clowns on wings
