Look at my doorstep, look at my doorstep
Look at the bluebirds, look at the blackbirds
Look at the good luck, look at the bad luck
Look at the good luck and the bad luck there
Never saw bluebirds mingle with blackbirds
Never saw bluebirds doing things backwards
Never knew good luck ever could perch with care
Now I overheard those birdies talking today
And I know just why they're acting this way
Now first the bluebirds said we've got to have sunny weather
So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together
Then the blackbirds said we're birds of a different feather
So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together
And when they talked it over they let the blackbirds bring rain
And then the bluebirds all agreed to bring the sunshine again
For we can't have rain or sunshine that lasts forever
So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together
Trouble, trouble round my door
Blackbirds, blackbirds by the score
Bluebirds, bluebirds came one day
And said to the blackbirds, "Hear our say"
First the bluebirds said we've got to have sunny weather
So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together
Then the blackbirds said we're birds of a different feather
So the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together
And when they talked it over they let the blackbirds bring the rain
And then the bluebirds all agreed to bring the sunshine again
For we can't have rain or sunshine that lasts forever
You can take those bluebirds, take those blackbirds
Mix them together, you get fair weather
And that's the reason the bluebirds and the blackbirds got together
