The Humming Bird

Glenn Miller

Compositor: E. DiLazzaro / Harold Adamson

The happy humming bird
His song is never heard
But everybody is gay
When he comes winging their way
Around and round he'll dance
While sweethearts all romance
He's just a merry old clown
Who can't be settling down

While other birds are twittin'
He's the guy who's splittin'
Ever see him sittin' in his nest?
He never was a singer
But he's some humdinger
He can hum a ring around the rest

So when you're feeling glum
Come take a lesson from
This tiny little Tom Thumb
And hear the humming bird hum
And hear the humming bird hum...

While the other birds are twittin'
He's splittin'
Not sittin' in his nest
He's no singer
But he's some humdinger
He can hum a ring around the rest

So when you're feeling glum
Come take a lesson from
This tiny little Tom Thumb
And hear the humming bird hum...!
