Knows the tune but not the words.
Hum! hum! Hum!
Listen to the hummingbird.
Hum! hum! Hum!

If you don’t know the words you can always clap.”

Tell me goldfish if you know
How the words to my song go.

“Bubble, Bubble, Bubble.
The words to your song are too much trouble”

Tell me wise owl if you know
How the words to my song go.
