Why Birds Follow Spring

Why birds follow spring

Like the sun follows the rainbow

Now why some people sing

When others bow their heads in sorrow

But oh, why some trees are so tall

While others they stay small

Why's yesterday like today

It follows tomorrow



But oh whoah, lala ladada la

Lalala da dadada laaaa laaaa



Oh, why some trees are so tall

While others they stay small



Why some trees, oooohh, are so tall

While others they stay small

Why's yesterday like today

It follows tomorrow



Why, ladadadada, why, somebody please



Why some trees are so tall

While others they stay small

La ladada la la lala

Laa lalala la la lala

Ladadad la la lalala....
