[Verse 1]
There once was a robin who lived in the West
He discovered a very strange egg in his nest
He turned to his wife with an angry remark
She said, "Don't get ruffled, I did it just for a lark."

[Chorus]
Toorala (Toorala), tooralay (Tooralay)
A rolling stone gathers no moss, so they say
Sing along (Sing Along), learn the words (Learn the words)
It's a wonderful song but it's all for the birds

[Verse 2]
A sparrow and vulture once met in the air
Soon they were coupling, a love-hungry pair
The passionate vulture emitted somе bleats
The sparrow inquired, "Am I hurtin' ya, sweets?"

[Chorus]
Toorala (Toorala), tooralay (Tooralay)
A rolling stonе gathers no moss, so they say
Sing along (Sing Along), learn the words (Learn the words)
It's a wonderful song but it's all for the birds

[Verse 3]
How to kiss a duck's arse without tasting the down
This answer has come from some men of renown
Endless experiments showed them the trick
You blow and you kiss, but you gotta be quick
[Chorus]
Toorala (Toorala), tooralay (Tooralay)
A rolling stone gathers no moss, so they say
Sing along (Sing Along), learn the words (Learn the words)
It's a wonderful song but it's all for the birds

[Verse 4]
There once was a parrot with strings on his feet
If you pulled on the right string, he'd recite Nelson's Fleet
You pulled on the left string, he'd act a farce
If you pulled on them both, he'd fall flat on his arse

[Chorus]
Toorala (Toorala), tooralay (Tooralay)
A rolling stone gathers no moss, so they say
Sing along (Sing Along), learn the words (Learn the words)
It's a wonderful song but it's all for the birds

[Verse 5]
So, here's to the birds, let us sing loud their praise
Their plumage, their habits, their natural ways
We're grateful it's birds flying up in the sky
Think of the fallout, if horses could fly

[Chorus]
Toorala (Toorala), tooralay (Tooralay)
A rolling stone gathers no moss, so they say
Sing along (Sing Along), learn the words (Learn the words)
It's a wonderful song but it's all for the birds
