Way up in the sky, the little birds fly
(point up, then flap "wings")
Way down in the nest, the baby birds rest.
(prayer hands, then rest head on them)
With a wing on the left, and a wing on the right
(left arm wing-wiggle, same with right)
Those tired little birdies sleep all through the night
(rest head on hands)
Shhh! They're sleeping (index fingers to lips
The bright sun comes up (big circle with arms)
The dew falls away (fingers rain down)
"Good morning, good morning," the little birds say
(Make little talking beaks with hands)

Variation: I sang this to The Beverly Hillbillies tune and I added this final bit:
With a wing on the left, and a wing on the right (left arm wing-wiggle, same with right)
Those wide awake birdies fly out of sight!
