LBJ's of deep winter

(LBJ is a technical term birders use meaning 'little brown job')
i just made up this little waltz, but amazingly, i'll bet if you try to sing it, a melody for it will just apply itself by some magic.

hello little birdies
where did you go?
i haven't seen you
since December's big snow


did you hide in the woods
where the deer make their bed?
and snuggle together
in the pines overhead?


chorus:
hello little birdies
the winter's so long
i'm so glad to have you
to chirp me a song

hello mr cardinal
your're bright red today
first time that i've heard you
since you went away

you're whistling so loud
are you calling your mate?
i hope she won't sleep through
your valentine's date

chorus:

hello little birdies
the winter's so long
i'm so glad to have you

to chirp me a song


come to think of it, a mug of beer or an oompah band would work here too!
