Lullaby of Birdland - The Harvard Krokodiloes (lyrics)

Lullaby by Birdland, that's what I
Always hear when you sigh
Never in my wordland could there be ways to reveal
In a phrase how I feel

Have you ever heard two turtledoves
Bill and coo when they love?
That's the kind of magic music we make with our lips
When we kiss

And there's a weepy 'ol willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry on my pillow
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye

Lullaby by Birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, and let's go
Flying high in Birdland, high in the sky up above
we're in love

Lullaby by Birdland, that's what I
Always hear when you sigh
Never in my wordland could there be ways to reveal
In a phrase how I feel

Have you ever heard two turtledoves
Bill and coo when they love?
That's the kind of magic music we make with our lips
When we kiss

And there's a weepy 'ol willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry on my pillow
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye

Lullaby by Birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, and let's go
Flying high in Birdland, high in the sky up above
we're in love

And there's a weepy 'ol willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye

Lullaby by Birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, and Let's go
Flying high in Birdland, high in the sky up above
All because we're in love

[nevilleharlock]

I had the immense pleasure of seeing the Krokodiloes here in Melbourne last week during their visit to Australia as part of their world tour. To say I was impressed would be the understatement of all time. My partner and I were in utter awe not merely of their musical ability, but also of their flawless seamlessness as a group and the sheer delight they brought to us. Clearly they love what they're doing. Thank you all so much for one of the most entertaining nights I've ever experienced.

I play this music at the piano and I never imagined that there were actually lyrics ! I'm so happy to discover this, the melody is absolutely magic

(Oh) Lullaby of birdland
That's what I
Always hear, when you sigh
Never in my wordland
Could there be ways to reveal
In a phrase, how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtledoves
Bill and coo
When they love
That's the kind of magic music
We make with our lips
When we kiss
And there's a weepy ol' willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I cry on my pillow
If you should tell me
Farewell and goodbye
(Oh) Lullaby of birdland
Whisper low
Kiss me sweet, then let's go
Flying high in birdland,
High in the sky up above
We're in love
