Lyrics
Happy Flappy Bird
CHORUS
Happy flappy bird
Flying round the world
Tell me what d'you spy
With your I-Spy eye?
Verse 1
I see a mountain standing tall
Comes down the mountain, a waterfall
Grows from the waterfall, a lake
Flowing from the lake a river does snake
And it all looks good to me, oh yeah. It all looks good to me
CHORUS...
Verse 2
I see a tree on the mountain tall
Down from the tree a leaf does fall
Onto the leaf does a caterpillar crawl
Then he sings and grows wings for the butterfly ball
And it all looks good to me...
CHORUS...
Verse 3
I see a flower in the meadow green
The sweetest flower I've ever seen
Then from the flower a seed does blow
And up from the seed another flower does grow
And it all looks good to me...
CHORUS...
Verse 4
I see the sea and the sea is blue
Slapping the shore with a wave or two
Up from the sea comes a cloud, then rain
Pours from the cloud on the mountain again
And it all looks good to me...
CHORUS...
Verse 5
I see the people and the people are good
Good to nature in their neighbourhood
Growing their food in their garden or home
"That's the way to do it," let the garden grow!
And it all looks good to me...
Outro
Happy flappy bird, flying round the world,
It's a wonderful world to see. Do you see the same as me?
