The Butcherbird

The butcherbird sings a happy song but butcherbird's a sinner He steals the young of other birds and eats them for his dinner He eats the young of other birds and sing his merry ditty The ruthless killer butcherbird to others show no pity. The Butcherbird's a cruel bird and all to him a stranger And at nesting time he risk his life to keep his young from danger He chase away all others birds the cruelest of the crueler And in his own corner of the wood the Butcherbird is ruler. The Butcherbird the violent bird his foes are in the many And he doesn't seem to have a friend and he doesn't deserve any He guard his wife and childer and he chase away all others And Butcherbird the fearless bird will even fight his brothers
