Lyrics

There’s a little bird that flits and hops as she teases
The magpie that sits under a tree
The cheekiest of birds that there could ever be
Little Willie Wagtail...

With plumage that’s black and belly so white she
Twitters and hops all through the day
Insects and grubs she pecks from the ground
Little Willie Wagtail

Magpies sing, kookaburras laugh
And little Willie Wagtails twitter and chirp
Hopping all around with their cheeky chirping sound
Perched up in a tree then back on the ground

On land and on sea every creature
Runs swims or flies and that’s how it should be
For the earth is their home, as it is for you and me
So little Willie Wagtail...fly free

Mm…
Little Willie Wagtail...fly free

Lyrics

Down at the beach I swim in the sea and
Run on the soft white sand
Watch as the sun sets over the water
Mother nature’s plan

There are shells on the beach, there are crabs in the rocks
Dolphins that swim close by
There are magpies that sing their songs in the morn
And a blue blue sky

In summer or autumn, winter or springtime
Blue sky or stormy sea
I like to be at Carrickalinga
My favourite place to be

Blue sky or stormy sea
It’s my favourite place to be

Lyrics

The magpie has such a melodious voice and
Sings a melodious song
Through summer and autumn, winter and springtime
Morning then all the day long...just
Singing her song

Beetles and earthworms she likes to eat
Spiders and frogs and snails
Pecking the ground and strutting around
With the cheeky little willy wagtails

CHORUS

Her plumage is black with splashes of white
Her eyes are gold and brown
She fluffs up her feathers, carolls aloud
Protecting her piece of ground

CHORUS

September will come and she'll build her nest
High in a tall gum tree
With sticks and with grass and bark and we'll wonder
How many chicks there will be

The magpie has such a melodious voice and
Sings a melodious song
Through summer and autumn, winter and springtime
Morning then all the day long...just
Singing her, singing her, singing her song
