She is only a little chickadee
Just a common backyard bird
And she knows no care or worry
She is happy in this world
Just a simple little chickadee
With a simple song to sing
She's not a peaco*k or a toucan
Not some fancy-colored thing
But she can fly high, she can fly
Anywhere she'd care to roam
And call anywhere
Her home
And I said, Tell me, little chickadee
Don't you wish sometimes to be
Someone bigger, someone more beautiful
And this is what she said to me
If I were bigger, or more beautiful
If I had fancy colored wings
It would not make me someone better
'Cause these are not important things
'Cause I can fly high, I can fly
Anywhere I care to roam
And call anywhere
My home
She is only a little chickadee
Not the boldest bird to see
But she knows that she's most fortunate
There's no one else she'd rather be
'Cause she can fly high, she can fly
Anywhere she'd care to roam
And call anywhere
Her home
And she is only a little chickadee
