A Little Robin Told Me So
Henry King and his Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I believe that you do (I believe)
This little bird told me I was fallin' (Really fallin')
Fallin' for no one but you (No one but you)
There's no use denyin'
I might as well confess
Of all the boys I know, dear
The little bird told me we'd be happy (Oh, so happy)
And I believe that it's true (So true)
A little bird told me we'd be married (Gonna get married)
And I believe that it's true (Doo-ooo)
This little bird told me when we marry (When we get married)
We'll have a pretty cottage, not too far (Yah!)
All fenced in like a movie star (Solid!)
A Great Dane pup, we'll call him Ace (Woh!)
Lying there by the fireplace (Gone!)
A goldfish pond and a wishing well
Everything is gonna turn out swell
(A little bird told her she'd be married) Doobie-doobie-doobie-doo
(And we believe that it's true)
(This little bird said she'd have a family) Yucka-pucka-pucka-puck
(Now tell us what we're gonna do)
We'll have a pretty cottage, not too far (Yeah!)
All fenced in like a movie star (Solid!)
A Great Dane pup, we'll call him Ace (Whoa!)
Lying there by the fireplace (Gone!)
A goldfish pond and a wishing well
Everything is gonna turn out swell
A little bird told me we'd be happy
And I believe that it's true
(She believes that it's true)
And now I know that it's true
(Come June it's bound, bound to come true)
