Sheet Music Singer - So the Bluebirds and the Blackbirds Got Together

Look at my doorstep, look at my doorstep

Look at the blackbirds, look at the bluebirds

Look at the bad luck, look at the good luck there

Never saw bluebirds mingle with blackbirds

Never saw bluebirds doin' things backwards

Never knew good luck ever would perch with care

I overheard these birdies talkin' today

And now I know just why they're acting this way:

First the bluebirds said, "We've got to have sunny weather"

So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together

Then the blackbirds said, "We're birds of a diff'rent feather"

So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together

And when they talked it over, they let the blackbirds bring rain

And all the bluebirds then agreed to bring the sunshine again

For we can't have rain or sunshine that lasts forever

So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together

First the bluebirds said, "We've got to have sunny weather"

So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together

Then the blackbirds said, "We're birds of a diff'rent feather"

So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together

And when they talked it over, they let the blackbirds bring rain

And all the bluebirds then agreed to bring the sunshine again

For we can't have rain or sunshine that lasts forever

So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together

Needn't take my word, take a look skyward

Look at the blackbirds, look at the bluebirds

As they come nearer, listen to what they say

Feathers all ruffled, ev'ry throat throbbin'

Not a voice muffled 'cause they're hob-nobbin'

Something seems wrong and this is their judgement day

Just like the birdies perchin' outside my door

I know exactly what they're arguing for:

First the bluebirds said, "We've got to have sunny weather"

So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together

Then the blackbirds said, "We're birds of a diff'rent feather"

So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together

And when they talked it over, they let the blackbirds bring rain

And all the bluebirds then agreed to bring the sunshine again

For we can't have rain or sunshine that lasts forever

So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together

First the bluebirds said, "We've got to have sunny weather"

So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together

Then the blackbirds said, "We're birds of a diff'rent feather"

So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together

And when they talked it over, they let the blackbirds bring rain

And all the bluebirds then agreed to bring the sunshine again

For we can't have rain or sunshine that lasts forever

So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together
