Oh I wish I was a little English sparrow (English sparrow)
             G                                 C
I would sit upon the steeple and PTTHH on all the people
        G                 D                G
Oh I wish I was a little English sparrow (English sparrow).


I wish I was a little stripey skunk etc
I'd sit among the trees and perfume all the breeze, etc
I wish I was a little can of Coke etc
I'd go down with a slurp and come up with a burp, etc.
I wish I was a little mosquito etc
I'd buzzy and I'd bitey under everybody's nightie, etc
I wish I was a fishy in the sea etc
I'd swim about so cutey, without my bathing suity etc.
I wish I was a little cake of soap etc
I'd slippey and I'd slidey over everyone's backsidey etc.
I wish I was a little running shower etc
All the sights that you would see, if you were only me etc.
I wish I was a little cake of soap etc
I'd slippey and I'd slidey over everyone's backsidey etc.
Oh I wish I were a little bitty orange 
Oh I'd go squirty squirty squirty over everybody's shirtey
Oh I wish I were a little hunk of mud 
Oh I'd ooey and I'd gooey under everybody's shoey
Oh I wish I were a little foreign car 
Oh I'd go beepy beepy beepy down everybody's streety
Oh I wish I was a tin of baked beans, baked beans, 
I'd go down as a clump, and come back as a lump, 
Oh I wish I was a tin of baked beans.
Oh I wish I was a little green latrine, green latrine, 
I'd smell out all the camp, especially when I'm damp,
Oh I wish I were a little candle flame, 
Oh I'd be so very bright, and I'd go out every night.
Oh I wish I were a little safety pin, 
And everything that's busted, I would hold until I rusted,
Oh I wish I were a little kangaroo, 
Oh, I'd hippy and I'd hoppy inside my mommy's pockie,
Oh I wish I were a spoon of Castor Oil, 
Oh, I'd lubricate the chassis of all the lads and lassies,
Oh I wish a were a little water bed, 
Oh, I'd wobble and I'd wiggle and make the sleepers giggle,
Oh, I wish I were a little onion 
I'd yelly and I'd smelly inside everybody's belly
Oh I wish I were a little green pea, 
I'd go skatey skatey skatey over everybody's platey,
Oh, I wish I were a little red Corvette 
For I'd stay out late at night, and a guy would hold me tight,
Oh, I wish I were a little slippery root 
'Cause I'd stick up in the trail, and I'd flop you on your tail,
Oh, I wish I were a monkey in the zoo 
'Cause I'd sit up on a shelf, and I'd scratch my little self,
Oh, I wish I were a little beddy bug 
I'd go bitey, bitey, bitey, under everybody's nightie
Oh, I wish I were a little piece of glass 
I'd go cutty, cutty, cutty and make everybody bloody
