If I Could Be a Mockingbird

If I could be a mockingbird

And fly above the world

I could hear the gossip

Perched on the telephone line

I could go to the park

And dine on popcorn

I could take a vacation every winter

Oh, what a simplistic life it would be,

A mockingbird listening on the world

The Canary's Song

I look up in the sky

And what do I see?

A pretty canary singing to me.

Such a lovely sound from

Such a beautiful bird

Even though he never says a word
