As Cheerful as a Chickadee

As Cheerful as a Chickadee

One pretty morning sitting up in the tree
Everyone could hear the little chickadee
Chickadee Chickadee Chicka dee dee dee
Chickadee Chickadee Chicka dee dee dee

Singing high and loud and as pretty as could be
He clung to his branch and belted merrily
Chickadee Chickadee Chicka dee dee dee
Chickadee Chickadee Chicka dee dee dee

But soon came around a cautious old crow
Saying, “Foolish little bird, what do you know?”
“Look up at the sky! It is cold and it’s dark”
“None of us are happy.  Not even the lark!”

“If you’re smart you’ll hush that chatter”
“The birds are asking what is the matter?”

Cocking his head and hopping around
The little chickadee flitted up and down
“You see gloom and I see glory”
“If you listen to me I’ll tell you my story”
Chickadee Chickadee Chicka dee dee dee
Chickadee Chickadee Chicka dee dee dee

“One thing I know is I am free
And I’ve been blessed abundantly!”
Chickadee Chickadee Chicka dee dee dee
Chickadee Chickadee Chicka dee dee dee

“So if the day is cold and dreary”
“I won’t let it make me weary”
“It’s a day. It’s a gift! I will sing it from my heart!”
“God’s creation is a work of art!”
Chickadee Chickadee Chicka dee dee dee
Chickadee Chickadee Chicka dee dee dee

That old crow had nothing to say
He would not stand in the little bird’s way
So he hopped and he bopped his head along
It turned out to be a catchy song
Chickadee Chickadee Chicka dee dee dee
Chickadee Chickadee Chicka dee dee dee

Then bird after bird up in that tree!
Sang along to the song of that little chickadee
Chickadee Chickadee Chicka dee dee dee
Chickadee Chickadee Chicka dee dee dee

The dark old clouds were not so gray
The cold all around seemed to melt away
Cheerfulness warmed the birds inside
They sang together both far and wide
Chickadee Chickadee Chicka dee dee dee
Chickadee Chickadee Chicka dee dee dee


So just remember if you think you’re sad
You can turn it around and just be glad!
Sing the song like the little chickadee
Make it a choice to be happy
Chickadee Chickadee Chicka dee dee dee
Chickadee Chickadee Chicka dee dee dee

“This is the day which the Lord hatch made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Psalms 118:24
