This Song Is For The Birds Lyrics - Sesame Street

For all of you who 

Come from eggs 

With feathered tails and 

Spindly legs 

To those who chirp or 

Honk or quack 

We say: "It's time to 

Pay you back." 

Hey, you, who grew 

Up in a nest 

You've earned the right 

To take a rest 

You've sung for us for 

Oh so long 

So sit back now and 

Hear our song 

And we say: 

Tweet, tweet, peep, peep 

Gobble, gobble, coo 

Chirp, chirp, cheep, cheep 

Cock-a-doodle-doo 

Come on and listen 

To the music 

Listen to the words 

This song, this song, this song 

Is for the birds! 

(La la la la, la la la) 

It's for the birds! 

(La la la la, la la la) 

Now listen: 

If you're a robin, hawk or owl 

Pigeon, crow or waterfowl 

Sparrow, duck or cockatoo 

Hey, listen up! This song's 

For you 

Sing it! 

Tweet, tweet, peep, peep 

Gobble, gobble, coo 

Chirp, chirp, cheep, cheep 

Cock-a-doodle-doo 

Come on and listen 

To the music 

Listen to the words 

This song, this song, this song 

Is for the birds! 

(La la la la, la la la) 

It's for the birds! 

(La la la la, la la la) 

Bawk, honk, caw, quack 

Whistle, whistle, hoot 

We wrote this song, and 

It's a beaut 

Screech, whippoorwill 

Honk, tweet-tweet, peep 

In birdie language that 

Means, "Thanks a heap." 

Tweet, tweet, peep, peep 

Gobble, gobble, coo 

Chirp, chirp, cheep, cheep 

Cock-a-doodle-doo 

Come on and listen 

To the music 

Listen to the words 

This song, this song, this song 

Is for the birds! 

(La la la la, la la la) 

It's for the birds! 

(La la la la, la la la) 

Tweet, tweet, peep, peep 

Gobble, gobble, coo 

Chirp, chirp, cheep, cheep 

Cock-a-doodle-doo 

Come on and listen 

To the music 

Listen to the words 

This song, this song, this song 

Is for the birds! 

(La la la la, la la la) 

It's for the birds! 

(La la la la, la la la) 

Cheep!
