I followed on with my old (something) linnet



Sunday morning up with the lark
Think I'll take a walk in the park
Hey hey hey it's a beautiful day!



Auntie Mary had a canary up the leg of her drawers
(not sure if this is a Cockney song or not, but its sure one that used to get sung at parties up here)

Straighten Up And Fly Right Written by Nat King Cole and Irving Mills

A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air,
The monkey thought that everything
was on the square.
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey
off his back,
The monkey grabbed his neck and said,
"Now listen, Jack..."

Straighten up and fly right,
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.
