Lyrics
Nonny: Who wrote the rule that said a thing with feathers absolutely has to fly?
Molly, Deema, Oona, & Zooli: Fly? Why must they fly?
Nonny: Some creatures have two wings that flap
But you won't find them up there in the sky
Molly, Deema, Oona, & Zooli: Try, try, try
They're not up there in the sky
Nonny: Gravity, they don't defy
They'll never soar, won't even try
Mr. Grouper: Well...
Nonny: Have you heard?
Gil, Goby, & Zooli: (Have you heard?)
Nonny: About the flightless bird?
Gil, Goby, & Zooli: (About the flightless bird?)
Nonny: With wings that flap they've been supplied
But after that, things went awry
Well, have you heard?
Gil, Goby, & Zooli: (Have you heard?)
Nonny: About the flightless bird?
Gil, Goby, & Zooli: (About the flightless bird?)
Nonny: They're quite content there on the ground
To see them don't look up, look down
(Ostrich, kiwi, penguin, emu)
They all can't fly!
Mr. Grouper: Let's play a little kazoo!
[Oona plays kazoo]
Nonny: Penguins swim where it's all frozen
For flying, they've not been chosen
Ostriches are fast as lightning
Molly: Do they fly?
Ostrich: Who, us? Too frightening!
Nonny: See the emu from Australia and the great New Zealand kiwi
Kiwi: Some birds were born to fly, but I just gotta be me!
We won't cry, we won't frown!
We're happy right here on the ground!
Molly, Deema, Oona, & Zooli: Gravity, we don't defy!
We'll never soar, won't even try!
Mr. Grouper: Well...
Nonny: Have you heard?
Gil, Goby, & Zooli: (Have you heard?)
Nonny: About the flightless bird?
Gil, Goby, & Zooli: (About the flightless bird?)
Nonny: With wings that flap they've been supplied
But after that, things went awry
Well, have you heard?
Gil, Goby, & Zooli: (Have you heard?)
Nonny: About the flightless bird?
Gil, Goby, & Zooli: (About the flightless bird?)
Nonny: They're quite content there on the ground
To see them don't look up, look down
(Ostrich, kiwi, penguin, emu)
Kiwi: So what if we can't fly?
Nonny: Neither can you
