Lyrics
(American folk song)
1. Little bird, little bird, go through my window.
Little bird, little bird, go through my window.
Little bird, little bird, go through my win-dow,
And buy molasses candy.
Go through my window, my sugar lump,
Go through my window, my sugar lump,
And buy molasses candy.
2. Blue blue fly through my window…and buy molasses candy.
Fly through my window, my little bird….and buy molasses candy
Game
Formation: Students stand in groups of six, three students on each side facing each other. Students form an arch with their hands.
Then, couple by couple, the children drop hands and go under the arch. (source)
