"Come little birdies, come and speak
Weew you at granny's house this week?"
"So we were, today, today
But now we're back, and here we'll stay"

"Come, little birdies, come and play
O, ladushki, ladushki, just a little game!"
"You clap your hands, and here we'll stay"

"What did you have to eat, to eat?"
"A bowl of porridge and a plate of meat"

"The porridge was good, and the milk was too
And granny was nice, and so were you
We ate and we drank our fill, and then
Went flying home to baby again

On her head we perched, and sang a song
Tweet-tweet-tweet! - all the morning long"
