The Pee Wee Song

I hear them every morning in the Parkland at daybreak The pee wee song of the pee wee one never could mistake In late Winter they build their cup shaped mud nest on fork of branch of tree The black and white birds known as magpie lark or mudlark or to many as pee wee Their kind live all around Australia east, west and north and south That they are fair dinkum Aussies there isn't any doubt They live in country paddocks and in town parks by the sea And even on the city streets them one often does see Their brief unvaried pee wee song seems pleasant just the same Of humans they show little fear they do seem almost tame Much like Miniature Aussie magpies though of a different race The birds who make themselves at home in almost any place So lovely and dainty for to look at and confiding in their way These beautiful Australians I see them every day.
