I hope you notice the expression in my song Unlike that chiff-chaff over there I try my best to be mellifluous when I sing Not like him, not like him Winter's gone and here we are hee hee Hee hee What shall we do now Come on dear, I think you know What we should be doing now I'll sing it, I'll sing it! You're a brave bird and so beautiful Just right for me,  now do a twirl Do a twirl ! And I'm the only blackbird in the world You need I'll sing it, I'll sing it! You made it through the arduous Ar-du-ous winter Just like me, just like me Brave bird! I'll sing it, I'll sing it! My wife's a lovely brown She's hiding in the hedge I love to sing do you? We built a nest we did, we did! So don't forget to look the other way If you should venture over here It would be such a waste of time To have to do it all again This place belongs to me! My wife is here We're trying for a family She laid some lovely eggs Blue they are, she sits on them to keep them warm But it's a secret, it's a secret I'll sing it, I'll sing it! I hope you notice I try to vary my song Mix up and blend the notes so as not to bore And if it sounds like I'm trying to tell you something Ex-plain something That's because I truly am I try to sound interesting When I sing Not like him Mell-if-lu-os-ity is my favourite word I made it up I'll sing it, I'll sing it!

A blackbird was singing in the garden where I was working today. I tried to imagine what he was saying . Anthropomorphic, I know. A common bird in Britain, especially in gardens. If you don't have them in your neck of the woods and would like to hear their song go to www.youtube.com/watch?v=G20ggyK98UU‎
