Familiar voices in Nature that everyone know
The flute of the magpie the caw of the crow
The pipe of the blackbird melodious and clear
And the whistle of the shrike thrush so pleasant to hear
The World's greatest mimic the lyrebird one could never mistake
From the songs of his neighbours his own music he make
The pee wee of the magpie lark the voice of the pied currawong
These are sounds of Nature one ought not to get wrong
The laughter of the kookaburra familiar to all
And the yellow tail black cockatoo has a familiar call
The song of the bell miner tinkling like a bell
Most birds by their voices are not hard to tell
The voices of the corellas, white cocky, galah and crimson rosella known to quite a few
And the chatter of the wattlebirds to most nothing new..
