Two little blackbirds sitting on a hill
One named Jack, and the other named Jill
Fly away Jack, fly away Jill
Come back Jack, come back Jill.

Two little blackbirds starting to fight
One named Pat, the other named Mike
Time out Pat, time out Mike.
Come back Pat, come back Mike (and be good friends)

Two little blackbirds sitting on a toe
One named High, the other named Low
Fly away High, fly away Low
Come back High, come back Low

Two little blackbirds sitting on another toe
One named Fast, the other named Slow
Fly away Fast, fly away Slow
Come back Fast, come back Slow

Two little blackbirds sitting on some ice
One named Mean, the other named Nice
Fly away Mean, fly away Nice
Come back Mean, come back Nice

Two little blackbirds sitting on a cloud
One named Soft, the other named Loud
Fly away Soft, fly away Loud
Come back Soft, come back Loud

Two little blackbirds sitting on a gate
One named Early, the other named Late
Fly away Early, fly away Late
Come back Early, come back Late

Two little blackbirds are the best of friends
Waiting for this little finger play to end
Fly away friend, fly away friend
Do come back again.
