If I Were a Bird

Ann Moyle was the music and movement teacher at our local library before and after I did my 2 year stint there. She is AMAZING and created many of her own songs. This is one of her songs and I got permission from her to share it. I love the different take she has on this animal song. Instead of singing about the noises each animal makes, this song focuses on the movements they make. Here are the lyrics:

If I were a bird, if I were a bird,
I'd fly and fly and fly all day if I were a bird.

If I were a fish, if I were a fish,
I'd swim and swim and swim all day if I were a fish.

Here's the vocal audio file:


The kids love coming up with all sorts of animals and deciding what their movement should be. And of course, this is the kind of song we act out as we sing it! (Please respect her copyright on this. She would love for you to use it for your non-monetary experiences).
