She is blue , The brilliant type of blue So that she glitters e ’en in the gloom . So sweet is the song that she hums She is the blue bird on the purple post
She is pretty and she knows Purr , purr she goes As though she wants to fly Preen and preen oil to her feathers she apply She is the blue bird on the tall purple post
She leads a life so modest As though ignorant she is the prettiest She lives to the dictates of nature So that humans love and envy her culture She is the blue bird on the purple post
Remain hither so I can watch No go thither to our thatch And I will watch and forget to go to sleep But away you fly and into the clouds you sweep She is the pretty blue bird on the tall purple post .
