The Flying Lesson.
My dears you must learn to fly!
It's time you learned, indeed;
You know that if you never try
You never will succeed.
It's time you learned, indeed;
You know that if you never try
You never will succeed.
Now see your father flap his wings,
And make them move him on,
You must observe these little things
And see the way they're done.
And make them move him on,
You must observe these little things
And see the way they're done.
Now spread your wings and follow me,
And just do what I do!
Quickly at first, dears, one, two, three!
Now slowly—so! one, two!
And just do what I do!
Quickly at first, dears, one, two, three!
Now slowly—so! one, two!
That's beautiful! now children come
Back to the nest with me;
I have a lovely worm at home
Which we will have for tea!
