lyrics

Magpie walking on the ground, he's looking pleased with what he's found.
He's dining on a piece of cake, I put it there for him to take.

Chorus
Magpie, you've only got a few songs.
Magpie, here's another one to help you along.
Magpie, come and visit anytime.
Magpie, you've become a friend of mine.

Magpie flying in the sky, checking me out with a beady eye.
Maybe he wants some more to eat, maybe I'll give him another treat.

Scavenger, predator, thief of shiny things.
Your plumage is a purplish blue, with an iridescent sheen.
Your chattering is noisy, and your tail is long and black.
I think you recognise me, cause you keep on coming back.

Magpie happy with his lady friend, they'll stay together till the very end.
I don't believe in all the superstition, I'll be happy when I see you again.
