Lyrics and Activity Notes
An owl sat alone on the branch of a tree
(use arm as branch, raise thumb for owl)
And she was as quiet as quiet could be
"Twas
night and her eyes were wide open like this
(circle eyes with fingers and look around)
She looked all around, not a thing did she miss
Some
little birds perched on the branch of the tree
(fingers of other hand fly on tree)
And they were as quiet as quiet could be
The solemn
old owl said, "Whoo-whoo-whoo"
And up jumped the birds
and away they all flew
(wave hand away, fluttering fingers behind)
