(Chee-chee, chee-chee)
Oh, once on a tree top tall the little bird
Sang out the sweetest song I ever heard
Chee chee-oo chee
It sang to me so merrily
Chee chee-oo chee
The little birdie on a tree
Life's such a lovely thing it seemed to say
If you will only sing your cares away
Chee chee-oo chee
So merrily it went along
Chee chee-oo chee
So happily his little song
And so (chee-chee, chee-chee)
I sing (chee-chee, chee-chee)
Chee chee-oo chee
This happy, happy little thing
If you (chee-chee, chee-chee)
Feel blue (chee-chee, chee-chee)
Sing chee-oo chee
And you can be as happy too
Life's such a lovely thing it seemed to say
(chee-chee, chee-chee)
If you will only sing your cares away
(chee-chee, chee-chee)
----Instrumental Interlude ----
And so (chee-chee, chee-chee)
I sing (chee-chee, chee-chee)
Chee chee-oo chee
This happy, happy little thing
If you (chee-chee, chee-chee)
Feel blue (chee-chee, chee-chee)
Sing chee-oo chee
And you can be as happy too
Sing chee-oo chee
And you can be as happy too
Sing chee-oo chee
And you can be as happy too
(Chee-chee)

There's nothing left for me
Of days that used to be
They're just a memory
Among my souvenirs
Some letters sad and blue
A photograph or two
I see a rose from you
Among my souvenirs
A few more tokens rest
Within my treasure chest
And, though they do their best
To give me consolation,
I count them all apart
And, as the teardrops start,
I find a broken heart
Among my souvenirs
I count them all apart
And, as the teardrops start,
I find a broken heart
Among my souvenirs.
