Mr. Big Bird, Mr. Little Bird Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Gee, Big Bird,
it sure is nice of you
to let me sleep over in your nest.
It's nice to have you here,
Little Bird.
Now you just cuddle up to me real close,
and we'll go off to sleep together.
Uh, Big Bird,
I can't fall asleep.
I guess I'm used to having my mommy
sing me a lullaby.
She sings to me every night
before I go to sleep.
I don't think I can fall asleep
without a lullaby.
Well, that's no problem.
I can sing you a lullaby.
I'll sing you the lullaby
that [A]my mommy [Em]bird used to sing to me
when I was little,
like you. How would that be?
That would be just great, Big Bird.
Thanks.
Okay, you just snuggle in now,
because here [D]we go.[Em][D]
Sleep my [Bm]baby, [D]softly rest,
[Em]Like [A]a n[D]estling i[Em]n a n[A]es[D]t.
Though you are too small to fly,
[Em]you'll [D]be a big bird [Em]by and [D]by.
[Em]Though your [D]song is [Em]still [A]a s[D]queak,[Bm]
[Em]soft [F#]your [Bm]feather[D]s,
small [Em]your [D]beak[A] .
[D]Tuck your head beneath your wing,
hear the guardian an[Em]gels [D]sing.
[Em]Cheep, [D]cheep, [Em]cheep[D], cheep,
[Em]sleep [A]my [D]baby, [Em]go to[A] sleep.[D]
How about that.
Fast asleep.
Worked like a charm.
And now [A]to go to sleep myself.[D][Em]
[D]Now I can't get to sleep.
Hi Big Bird, getting ready to go to sleep?
Oh, hi Maria, hi David.
My [Em]little friend Little Bird here
[D]is sleeping over tonight
and I just sang her a lullaby
that my mommy bird used to sing to me
and Little Bird went right off to sleep.
But now I can't fall asleep.
I think I'll wake Little Bird up
so she can sing me the lullaby
I just sang to her.
No, no, Big Bird,
that's no good.
Then you'll be asleep and she'll
be awake.
I tell you what, I know a really nice
little African lullaby.
The one about the lion?
You taught that to me, too.
Let's sing it to Big Bird together.
Oh, that would be fantastic.
