Talkin' bout birds
Now have you heard
They have feathers
Talkin' bout my feathered friends
'Cause that's the word
Birds
Now have you heard
They have feathers
Talkin' bout my feathered friends
'Cause that's the word

Listen up and don't you cry
Look, look up in the sky
It's not a plane
Not Superman
Nah, it's a bird
Do you understand
See, now how they all have feathers
That's the way you can tell whether
They or birds or they're not
Feathers are what they've got
Now, there are creatures who can fly
But only birds, I'll tell you why
Like bats or bees
They don't have feathers
So they don't get to call themselves

Birds
Now have you heard
They have feathers
Talkin' bout my feathered friends
'Cause that's the word

Doves, blue jays, and sparrows
And don't forget those flamingoes
Parakeets and cockatoos
Ducks and swans and snow geese too
Eagles, falcons, you know they're
Flying way up in the air
But there are birds who cannot fly
It's really true, just ask Bill Nye
Like ostriches and penguins, too
They're lookin' good but they can't, too
They're flying things
But they're still birds
'Cause they have feathers
In other words

Birds
Now have you heard
They have feathers
Talkin' bout my feathered friends
'Cause that's the word
