Chorus: All birds have wings All birds have feathers All birds have beaks All birds have stomachs All birds have gizzards ‘Cause they don’t have teeth Birds have big eyes And hollow bones With big muscles in their wings Which helps them fly Verse: I saw a couple of love birds they made a perfect pair I heard a few other birds singing in a trio over there And several other birds were pecking non stop Having a feast before migration And along the way they’ll disperse the seeds (HEY Look up there!

Verse: Hey Reptile, I haven’t seen you in a while Has it been months or weeks or days? Have you been hiding In your camouflage Or did you just move away? Did you change the spelling Of the place you’re dwelling Can I contact you today? Pre-Chorus: Reptil_, reptil_ I know that’s not your name You’re a cold-blooded creature, and I know you can’t be tamed Hey Reptile, I really like your new style Perched on a leaf you’re green And on a rock you’re grey Chorus: Without your E Your letters are lost in the mail (Without your E) Did you not_ get the note I wrote to thee Without your magic E Without your E You don’t slide, you slid_ (Without your E) We used to glide through the glade, but Without your magic E I haven’t been glad_ Since you glid_ away from me Monologue: Have you ever been pen pals with a reptile? I have! I sure do enjoy sending letters to my scaly, ectothermic friends… and sometimes, I receive letters from them too! Last time some lizards wrote me, they told me about how they can change their colors. To either blend in when they need protection, OR to stand out, when they wanted to be seen! OH, and Last weekend, I received an invite from my semi-aquatic friends! The crocodiles and snakes in the neighborhood were having a pool party… I had my doubts, but I decided to go. When I got there, they showed me all the different ways that they’re able to swim. And now, my turtle friends, they’re some of my favorites, but I can hardly ever get in touch with them. You see, home is where the heart is, and since they’re at home in their shells wherever they go, their address is always changing! No wonder I can hardly ever get a hold of ‘em...
