This popular music hall song extolling the virtues of melodic avian creatures has endured to this date in large part because of its longtime association with Disney foolishness.  The song was written by Robert Hargreaves, Stanley J. Damerell and Tolchard Evans in 1932 and was a favorite of performers during the 20s because of its cheerful theme and easy lyrics.

I’m posting this video clip from a Disney cartoon.  I’m not entirely happy about it.  But, it’s what one typically associates with this song.
