Peewee peewee one often hear them say
In a cup shaped mud nest high on fork of tree
The female lay pale pink dotted eggs of five, four or three
Known as magpie lark, mudlark or by many as peewee
In backyards and paddocks them one does regularly see
With their head ever bobbing as they walk around
In search of tiny insects they find on the ground
On all Seasons Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall
As they raise their wings peewee or dooit they do call
In town parks and gardens and in the countryside
Familiar Australians they live Nation wide
Quite unmistakeable in appearance and song
Once seen and once heard one never again gets them wrong.
