swift on the wing they're showing off  
dive as they scissor through the air  
chirping and singing, they face off  
this one's a teaser, don't you dare!

and now I'm marked, gee thanks a lot  
fly, fly, you bad boy, chirp away  
a bit of luck is what I've got  
what kind of luck, I can't yet say

swift on the wing they're showing off  
and on my face, the biggest smile  
chirping and singing, they face off  
I think I'll watch them, for a while
