LITTLE BIRDIE TOLD ME SO, A

from 1926 New York musical "Peggy Ann"
(Richard Rodgers (m) Lorenz Hart (l) 1926)

as recorded by Roger Wolfe Kahn & his Orchestra
(vocal - Johnny Marvin)
January 25th 1927 New York


How did I come to know
Which way the wind would blow?
A little birdie told me so!

A little word called "yes"
Can make an awful mess,
The answer to "giddyap!" is "whoa!".

Don't pity mother Eve, her weakness was detestable,
As soon as she learned forbidden fruit was indigestible!

But how did I find out
What it was all about?
A little birdie told me so!
