This is a traditional song that can be sung in many different ways.
We’re really proud of the three-part harmony singing we’ve managed so far (our own version) and hope we get to sing it in a concert one day.
Click on the tracks below for a refresher of your part (top, middle or bottom) and then sing along with the backing or performance tracks.
In this video, I’ve added some suggestions for percussion patterns to try.
These would sound lovely with some natural instruments - homemade shakers with seeds; pebbles or sticks.
Why not make up some of your own patterns too?
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
