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
