Lyrics
I'm only a poor little sparrow (ah)
No colorful feathers have I (it's a shame)
I can't even sing (ah) when I'm nesting in spring (ah)
And the turnips don't grow very high (it's a shame)
Most sparrows I know are so cheeky (that's right)
In fact, they're incredibly brave (so brave)
But to me that's not true (ah), all I ever do (ah)
Is worry myself to the grave (it's a shame)
She's only a poor little sparrow
No colorful feathers has she
She can't even sing when she's nesting in spring
And the turnips don't grow very high
Whenever I try to be helpful (you're not)
I seem to do something that's wrong (that's right)
Only one day last week (yes) I trapped someone's beak (yes)
And now it's as broad as it's long (oh, poor thing)
I once had a boyfriend called Bertie (woo)
He said I was pretty as three (ah, ah)
He built me a nest (yes), gave me all of his best (yes)
Then tripped up and fell off the tree
She's only a poor little sparrow
No colorful feathers has she
She can't even sing when she's nesting in spring
And the turnips don't grow very high
She's only a poor little sparrow (that's right)
No colorful feathers has she (all brown)
She can't even sing (tweet-tweet)
When she's nesting in spring
She's only a poor little bird, that's right
