In Australia magpie larks are known everywhere
In paddocks and town parks in the big country out there
They build cup shaped nest of mud on fork of branch of tree
And are known by their familiar call of pee wee
They live mostly in pairs though in numbers they abound
And they live on small insects they find on the ground
Medium sized black and white birds i do see and hear every day
They seem almost tame in their confiding way
Of us humans they seem to show little fear
They only take to flight when to them you approach very near
Well known by appearance and their distinctive song
Once seen and once heard birds you cannot get wrong
Familiar Australians of them one can say
They sing out pee wee in the park every day.
