Doo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Doo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo

A little bird told me that you love me (That you love me)
And I believe that you do (I believe)
This little bird told me I was fallin' (Really fallin')
Fallin' for no one but you (No one but you)

There's no use denyin'
I might as well confess
Of all the boys I know, dear
I'm sure I love you best

The little bird told me we'd be happy (Oh, so happy)
And I believe that it's true (So true)
A little bird told me we'd be married (Gonna get married)
And I believe that it's true (Doo-ooo)

This little bird told me when we marry (When we get married)
We'll have a pretty cottage, not too far (Yah!)
All fenced in like a movie star (Solid!)
A Great Dane pup, we'll call him Ace (Woh!)
Lying there by the fireplace (Gone!)
A goldfish pond and a wishing well
Everything is gonna turn out swell

(A little bird told her she'd be married) Doobie-doobie-doobie-doo
(And we believe that it's true)
(This little bird said she'd have a fam'ly) Yucka-pucka-pucka-puck
(Now tell us what we're gonna do)

We'll have a pretty cottage, not too far (Yah!)
All fenced in like a movie star (Solid!)
A Great Dane pup, we'll call him Ace (Woh!)
Lying there by the fireplace (Gone!)
A goldfish pond and a wishing well
Everything is gonna turn out swell

A little bird told me we'd be happy
And I believe that it's true
(She believes that it's true)
SPOKEN: And now I know that it's true
(Come June it's bound, bound to come true)
