Lullaby of Birdland, that's what I, 
Always hear, when you sigh, 
Never in my wordland could there be words to reveal 
In a phrase, how I feel. 

Have you ever heard two turtle doves 
Bill and coo when they love? 
That's the kind of magic music we get from our lips 
When we kiss 

And there's a weepy old willow 
He really knows how to cry 
That's how I'd cry in my pillow 
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye 

Lullaby of birdland whisper low 
Kiss me sweet, then we'll go 
Flying high in birdland, high in the sky up above 
All because we're in love 

Have you ever heard two turtle doves 
Bill and coo when they love? 
That's the kind of magic music we get from our lips 
When we kiss 

And there's a weepy old willow 
He really knows how to cry 
That's how I'd cry in my pillow 
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye 

Lullaby of birdland, whisper low 
Kiss me sweet, then we'll go 
Flying high in birdland, high in the sky up above 
And it's all because we're in love
