Lyrics
catch that yardbird: i’ll tell you about ms. honeybee a darling little tale poor just like a church-mouse her heart just like a whale milking cows she got along but never very good her braided hair was gold her shack was made of wood now honey was a lonesome child made friends when she could find one friends name was chicken her other friend was vine now vine was playing doctor and honey was playing nurse when out of the sky a bird dropped a little purse it opened like a flower made of a zillion bucks then honey, vine, and chicken did shout and look and cluck then before you knew it chicken who’d forgot that day to eat swallowed up the little purse and ran off down the street catch that yardbird well honey caught with chicken after quite a little race through fourteen fields of cotton seven clotheslines and a vase then they all moved to hollywood and bought a thousand things a gem for every finger every toe a diamond ring a football field sized swimming pool and a whole barn full of shoes a sapphire bike a velvet seat and a stadium of clothes, a big hen house made of solid gold with ruby chandeliers there honey, vine, and chicken sit and count their souvenirs catch that yardbird
