Merrily!
Tschee! tschee! tschee!
What can the meaning of these things be?
Tiniest buds and leaflets green--
Who shall tell me what these things mean?
Merrily!
Merrily!
Tschee! tschee! tschee!
Much I guess they were meant for me!

Tsu-ert!
Tsu-ert!
Tschee! tschee! tschee!
So I shall eat them up you see
Somebody, somewhere, is kindly stirred
To think of me, a poor, brown bird!--
Merrily!
Merrily!
Tschee! tschee! tschee!
Somebody, somewhere, thinks of me!

Tsu-ert!
Tsu-ert!
Tschee! tschee! tschee!
"A gentle lady?"--and can it be?--
Say it again, 'tis a pleasant word,
_Thinking of me_, your poor, brown bird!--
Merrily!
Merrily!
Tschee! tschee! tschee!
