One chickadee in a chickadee tree

nods his head as he winks at me.

CHICK-a-dee, dee,

chick-a-DEE-DEE-DEE.

Two chickadees in a chickadee tree

shake their tails as they wink at me.

CHICK-a-dee, dee,

chick-a-DEE-DEE-DEE.

Three chickadees in a chickadee tree

flap their wings as they wink at me.

CHICK-a-dee, dee,

chick-a-DEE-DEE-DEE.

Four chickadees in a chickadee tree!

Here comes the cat, hoping they don't see...

SCAT!

No chickadees in the chickadee tree!
