Lyrics/Music T.Koehler/J.McHugh
Hey what did the bluejay say
To the little sparrow
On the fence one day
Say you'll never guess, so I
Will tell you what I overheard while passing by
The bluejay said how do you do
Mr sparrow how are you
The sparrow said how do I do
I do just as I please and then away he flew
Hey what did the bluejay say
To the little sparrow as he flew away
Say nobody ever heard
Because he didn't get a chance to say a word
The bluejay didn't notice that
On the fence there was a cat
The sparrow flew but the bluejay sat
And now he's just a little bird on Nellie's hat
