Traditional: Children’s song
A charming, traditional song with a simple, appealing melody and some catchy syncopated rhythms that make the tune bounce along. The limited range of notes and uncomplicated lyrics make it very suitable for KS1 singers, but add the optional harmony and instrumental parts and the song would also work well for lower KS2.
Little bird, little bird,
Fly through my window,
Little bird, little bird,
Fly through my window,
Little bird, little bird,
Fly through my window,
Buy molasses candy.
Fly through my window,
My sugar lump,
Fly through my window,
My sugar lump,
And buy molasses candy.
Butterfly, butterfly,
Fly through my window,
Butterfly, butterfly,
Fly through my window,
Butterfly, butterfly,
Fly through my window,
Buy molasses candy.
Fly through my window,
My sugar lump,
Fly through my window,
My sugar lump,
And buy molasses candy.
Buzzy bee, buzzy bee,
Fly through my window,
Buzzy bee, buzzy bee,
Fly through my window,
Buzzy bee, buzzy bee,
Fly through my window,
Buy molasses candy.
Fly through my window,
My sugar lump,
Fly through my window,
My sugar lump,
And buy molasses candy.
