lyrics

Phoebe on a Fencepost
(c)2019 Jud Caswell (Alderdown Songs, ASCAP)

Phoebe on a fencepost, fly away fly away
pheobe on a fencepost, fly away home
green snake in the sweet grass, slide away slide away
green snake in the sweet grass, slide away home
the sunlight through the birches paints a picture on the wall
the dandelions are closing and the hermit thrush calls
so Phoebe on a fencepost, fly away fly away
pheobe on a fencepost, fly away home

Baby in the bathtub, splash away splash away
baby in the bathtub, splash the whole floor
Mama in the kitchen, sing away, sing away
Mama in the kitchen, sing a little more
There’s moonlight on the window and the chicken’s home to roost
this train is bound for bedtime so shake that red caboose
Baby in the bathtub splash away splash away
Mama in the kitchen won’t you sing a little more?

Brown bat in the starlight, sweep away swoop away
Brown bat in the starlight, dancing on a breeze
Peepers in the frog pond, peep away, skreek away
Peepers in the frog pond, singing through the trees
There’s a Barred Owl in an oak tree like the ghost of Robert Frost
Asking about the yellow wood, the two roads and the cost
while the peepers in the frog pond peep away, skreek away
and a brown bat in the starlight is dancing on a breeze

Phoebe on a fencepost, fly away fly away
pheobe on a fencepost, fly away home
