Birds

The rough cut of the theme song to the forthcoming educational bird-centered show BIRDS OF AMERICA

Lyrics:
Watch 'em fly, takin' wing
Hear them tweet 'n' listen to them sing
Watch 'em peck, eatin' worms
While we teach you Latin terms.
It's those Birds of America

Watch 'em hunt up in the sky
Osprey talon and eagle eye
Birds around us, coast to coast
To beaks and feathers, here's our toast
to those Birds of America

J. Griffith Rollefson
