| Up among the plums | B |
| Cheeping in the cherry tree | C |
| When early autumn comes | B |
| In our silver spectacles | D |
| And sober olive suits | E |
| We're very very innocent | F |
| We wouldn't touch your fruits | E |
| - | |
| Well maybe just a speckled one | G |
| A windfall here and there | H |
| But raid your precious strawberries | A |
| Oh no we wouldn't dare | H |
| Behold our bland astonishment | F |
| The charge is quite absurd | I |
| It must have been a parrot | J |
| Or some other kind of bird | I |
| - | |
| It must have been a satin bird | I |
| It must have been a crow | K |
| It couldn't possibly be us | L |
| We are so meek you know | K |
| With our silver spectacles | D |
| The accusation's vile | M |
| How can you deem us guilty | C |
| When we're whistling all the while | M |
| - | |
| Well if you've caught us in the act | N |
| There's no more to be said | O |
| The plums are blue and succulent | P |
| The strawberries are red | O |
| And who'd refuse a dainty dish | Q |
| When early autumn comes | B |
| Oh write a rhyme about us man | R |
| And pay for all your plums | B |
