As all sapient people know | B |
Is the land of Wonder Wander | A |
Whither children love to go | B |
It's their playing romping swinging | C |
That give great joy to me | D |
While the Dinkey Bird goes singing | C |
In the amfalula tree | D |
- | |
There the gum drops grow like cherries | E |
And taffy's thick as peas | E |
Caramels you pick like berries | E |
When and where and how you please | E |
Big red sugar plums are clinging | C |
To the cliffs beside that sea | D |
Where the Dinkey Bird is singing | C |
In the amfalula tree | D |

So when children shout and scamper | A |
And make merry all the day | F |
When there's naught to put a damper | A |

For the Dinkey Bird's bravuras | D |
And staccatos are so sweet | G |
His roulades appoggiaturas | D |
And robustos so complete | G |
That the youth of every nation | H |
Be they near or far away | F |
Have especial delectation | H |
In that gladsome roundelay | F |
- | |
Their eyes grow bright and brighter | A |
Their lungs begin to crow | B |
Their hearts get light and lighter | A |
And their cheeks are all aglow | B |
For an echo cometh bringing | C |
The news to all and me | D |
That the Dinkey Bird is singing | C |
In the amfalula tree | D |
- | |
I'm sure you like to go there | I |
To see your feathered friend | J |
And so many goodies grow there | I |
You would like to comprehend | J |
Speed little dreams your winging | C |
To that land across the sea | D |
Where the Dinkey Bird is singing | C |
In the amfalula tree | D |
