Lyrics of Love and Laughter

Oh, I see yo' eyes a-shinin' dough you try to mek me b'lieve
Dat you ain' so monst'ous happy 'cause you come;
But I tell you dis hyeah weathah meks it moughty ha'd to 'ceive
Ef a body's soul ain' blin' an' deef an' dumb.

Robin whistlin' ovah yandah ez he buil' his little nes';
Whut you reckon dat he sayin' to his mate?
He's a-sayin' dat he love hun in de wo'ds she know de bes',
An' she lookin' moughty pleased at what he state.
Now, Miss Lucy, dat ah robin sholy got his sheer o's sense, 
An' de hen-bird got huh mothah-wit fu' true;
So I t'ink ef you'll ixcuse me, fu' I do' mean
no erfence, 
Dey's a lesson in dem birds fu' me an' you.
