So the Bluebirds and the Blackbirds Got Together

Look at my doorstep
Look at my doorstep

Look at the blackbirds
Look at the bluebirds
Look at the bad luck

Look at the good luck there



Never saw bluebirds mingle with blackbirds

Never saw bluebirds doing things backwards

Never knew good luck

Never would perch with care


I've overheard those birdies talking today

And I know just why they're acting this way


First the bluebird said
We've got to have sunny weather

So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together

Then the blackbirds said

We're birds of a different feather

So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together


And when they talked it over

They let the blackbirds bring rain

And all the bluebirds then agreed

To bring the sunshine again


For we can't have rain or sunshine that lasts forever

So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together

And when they talked it over

They let the blackbirds bring rain

And all the bluebirds then agreed

To bring the sunshine again

For we can't have rain or sunshine that lasts forever

So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together
