Our pretty budgies love to chatter br Oh how they love a little natter br It's no good asking for some peace br They keep on talking, never cease br br Maybe they're saying their name in Latin br Melopsittacus undulates, they' are chanting br Or possibly how hot's the weather br And wonderfully cooling, to fluff their feathers br br They may be talking of the crow outside br And laughing at his big backside br Or simply rejoicing at being alive br To wake up cheery at half past five br br (Sydney, Australia - 2005)br br Alessandra Liveranibr br
