No. 7 - Quartet
| Hi-Faloot: | Observe the loving mother bird, Up in the spreading tree, Correct with stern but loving word Her tender chickadee. |
| Kee-Otori: | The feathered youngster tries to flap His embryonic wings, While mother cheers the little chap, As to the bough he clings. |
| Hunni-Bun: | He makes a most heroic jump, Alas it is in vain. She says: "Don't mind a little bump, Just try in once again." |
| Tee-To: | Flutter, little bird and keep on trying. |
| Others: | Trying, |
| Tee-To: | Bye and bye you will be flying. |
| Others: | Flying. |
| Tee-To: | You can do it, take my word, Keep on fluttering, little bird. |
| All: | Flutter, little bird and keep on trying, Bye and bye you will be flying. You can do it, take my word, Keep on fluttering, little bird. |
| Hi-Faloot: | At dinner parties you have met Young Mister Parvenu, Who views the knives and forks and spoons, And wonders what to do. |
| Kee-Otori: | He eats the blue-points with a spoon, For fish he'll use a knife. He can't pick out the salad fork To save his mortal life. |
| Hunni-Bun: | At last the demi-tasse is served, A la Martin's, New York, The only tool that he has left, One lonely oyster fork. |
| Tee-To: | Flutter, little bird and keep on trying. |
| Others: | Trying, |
| Tee-To: | Bye and bye you will be flying. |
| Others: | Flying. |
| Tee-To: | Watch the hostess, mum's the word. Keep on fluttering, little bird. |
| All: | Flutter, little bird and keep on trying, Bye and bye you will be flying. Watch the hostess, mum's the word. Keep on fluttering, little bird. |
| Hi-Faloot: | You've seen the man from up the road With lots of ready cash, Who takes a suite at ten per day, And hopes to cut a dash. |
| Kee-Otori: | His dinner coat is very short, His hat is very high, The fourteen karat stud he wears Will blind each passer-by. |
| Hunni-Bun: | But ignorance with him is bliss, And he's a happy man. Although his tie is ready made, His shoes are russet tan. |
| Tee-To: | Flutter, little bird and keep on trying. |
| Others: | Trying, |
| Tee-To: | Bye and bye you will be flying. |
| Others: | Flying. |
| Tee-To: | All beginners look absurd. Keep on fluttering, little bird. |
| All: | Flutter, little bird and keep on trying, Bye and bye you will be flying. All beginners look absurd. Keep on fluttering, little bird. |
| Hi-Faloot: | The woman who is up-to-date Must join a reading club, Where matrons meet to analyze The popular flub-dub. |
| Kee-Otori: | It's hard on Mrs. Malaprop Who used to be a cook, And until hubby struck it rich Had never read a book. |
| Hunni-Bun: | She thinks that Kipling wrote Beaucaire, And can't get in her head Why Shakespeare doesn't write more books, She doesn't know he's dead. |
| Tee-To: | Flutter, little bird and keep on trying. |
| Others: | Trying, |
| Tee-To: | Bye and bye you will be flying. |
| Others: | Flying. |
| Tee-To: | Clubs are helpful, so I've heard. Keep on fluttering, little bird. |
| All: | Flutter, little bird and keep on trying, Bye and bye you will be flying. Clubs are helpful, so I've heard. Keep on fluttering, little bird. |
