Big Bird Can`t Fly — текст песни (Sesame Street)

Spoken:
Lead Squirrel: Now we`re gonna sing a song for you, about a bird we all know who doesn`t fly. Right girls?

Other Squirrels: Right!

Sung:
Big Bird doesn`t fly
No, no
Big Bird doesn`t fly
No, no
Big Bird doesn`t fly
No, no
Big Bird doesn`t fly

Big Bird: I don`t fly

Squirrelles: Big Bird doesn`t fly

Big Bird: I don`t fly, I just walk on by

Squirrelles: Big Bird doesn`t fly
No, no
Big Bird doesn`t fly

He can hop
And he can skip right to the Fix-It Shop
He likes to roller-skate
But, my, oh my

Big Bird: I just can`t fly

Squirrelles: Big Bird doesn`t fly
No, no
Big Bird doesn`t fly

He can waddle with the best
And he can leap-frog right to his nest
He walks backwards easy as pie
But, my, oh my

Big Bird: I just don`t fly

Squirrelles: Big Bird doesn`t fly
No, no
Big Bird doesn`t fly

He knows how to chase
He comes first in a three-legged race
He`ll even jitter-bug
But, I don`t know why, he just don`t fly
I don`t know why
He just don`t fly
Big Bird doesn`t fly
No, no
Big Bird doesn`t fly

Spoken: You`re in great voice today, girls!
So, Big Bird, tell us, why don`t you fly?

Others: Yeah, why?

Big Bird: I just haven`t learned yet. But, you know, I`ve heard that some squirrels can fly.

Squirrelles: Really? Let`s try it, girls! A-one, a-two, a-three ... (they jump up, trying to fly, then fall to the ground, giggling)

Big Bird: Must be some other kind of squirrel. Are you okay, girls?

Squirrelles: Yeah! We`re fine!
