Mother Gooney Bird
Traditional
Lyrics:
One wing, ready now!
Mother Gooney Bird had seven chicks,
And seven chicks had Mother Gooney Bird
And they couldn’t walk,
And they couldn’t talk,
But they all could go like this...
Two wings, ready now! CHORUS
Two wings, one foot, ready now! CHORUS
Two wings, two feet, ready now! CHORUS
Two wings, two feet, one head, ready now!
CHORUS
