Avian
How is your wife today
Mr. General?
Off to the front to lead
Another battle
One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Six for gold
Seven for a secret
Never to be told
Eight for a wish
Nine for a kiss
Ten for a bird
You must not miss
Avian Grim Reaper
White with a black necktie
Good morning Mr. Magpie
Seen on a windowsill
Death is pending
Pay him his due respects
Or risk offending
One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Six for gold
Seven for a secret
Never to be told
Eight for a wish
Nine for a kiss
Ten for a bird
You must not miss
Bane of the gamekeeper
Mischievous and flighty
Acting high and mighty
Call out politely
Avian Grim Reaper
White with a black necktie
Good morning Mr. Magpie
Birds of a feather rise
And swarm like mayflies
Cawing their battle cries
To blot the sunrise
Wreath for a fallen friend
A blackbird funeral
Requiem on the grass
Of their cathedral
Bane of the gamekeeper
Mischievous and flighty
Acting high and mighty
Call out politely
Avian Grim Reaper
White with a black necktie
Good morning Mr. Magpie
Six for gold
Six for gold
Mr. General?
Off to the front to lead
Another battle
One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Six for gold
Seven for a secret
Never to be told
Eight for a wish
Nine for a kiss
Ten for a bird
You must not miss
Avian Grim Reaper
White with a black necktie
Good morning Mr. Magpie
Seen on a windowsill
Death is pending
Pay him his due respects
Or risk offending
One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Six for gold
Seven for a secret
Never to be told
Eight for a wish
Nine for a kiss
Ten for a bird
You must not miss
Bane of the gamekeeper
Mischievous and flighty
Acting high and mighty
Call out politely
Avian Grim Reaper
White with a black necktie
Good morning Mr. Magpie
Birds of a feather rise
And swarm like mayflies
Cawing their battle cries
To blot the sunrise
Wreath for a fallen friend
A blackbird funeral
Requiem on the grass
Of their cathedral
Bane of the gamekeeper
Mischievous and flighty
Acting high and mighty
Call out politely
Avian Grim Reaper
White with a black necktie
Good morning Mr. Magpie
Six for gold
Six for gold
