Yeah, you ready, George?
Yeah, man
Alrighty, man
Hahahaha
I was born a lucky so-and-so
How do I know?
I can turn old straw to gold
How do I know?
I can run like you so fast
How do I know?
I won't ever come in last
How do I know?
'Cause a little birdie told me
When I was born long ago
Sure as the moon turns overseas
That's how I know, that's how I know
I'll know my true love at first sight
How do I know?
She'll talk slow and love all night
How do I know?
Yeah, she can butter all my rye
How do I know?
And you won't find a sweeter pie
How do I know?
'Cause a little birdie told me
When I was born long ago
Sure as the moon turns overseas
That's how I know, that's how I know
We'll have babies one, two, three
How do I know?
One to fill my pipe, one for each knee
How do I know?
Girl and boy with Papa's eyes
How do I know?
The last one will be a surprise
How do I know?
'Cause a little birdie told me
When I was born long ago
Sure as the moon turns overseas
That's how I know, that's how I know
Cook your collard greens with ham
How do I know?
Save your drippings in a can
How do I know?
Get your grandma's old black skillet
How do I know?
'Fore you fry your chicken, keep it skillet
How do I know?
'Cause a little birdie told me
When I was born long ago
Sure as the moon turns overseas
That's how I know, that's how I know
Someday I will take sick and die
How do I know?
That day will come by and by
How do I know?
If I beat you to the other side
How do I know?
Look for me up in the sky
How do I know?
'Cause a little birdie told me
When I was born long ago
Sure as the moon turns overseas
That's how I know, that's how I know
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine
Than to be in this big city
With you on my mind
Little birdie, little birdie
Sing me your lonesome song
I'm a short time to be livin'
And a long time to be gone
