你為什么來(lái)到我的蘋(píng)果樹(shù)下，

你這只小灰鳥(niǎo)？

傻子—傻子，傻子—傻子，

傻子—傻子—自作多情的人！

那就是他要說(shuō)的。

你為什么鎖住你玫瑰色的腳，

如此緊緊地抓住小樹(shù)枝？

傻子—傻子，傻子—傻子—嘰喳！

那就是他想說(shuō)的。

你為什么站在最高的樹(shù)枝上，

你這只小灰鳥(niǎo)？

傻子—傻子—嘰喳！

傻子—傻子—傻子！

那就是他想說(shuō)的。

你的伴侶在哪里？來(lái)吧，回答我，

你這只小灰鳥(niǎo)？

傻子—傻子—傻子！

傻子—傻子—嘰喳！

那就是他想說(shuō)的。
