  Little skylark, lovely little skylark, Little skylark, I’ll pluck your feathers off.

  I’ll pluck the feathers off your head, I’ll pluck the feathers off your head, Off your head! Off your head! Little lark! Little lark! O-o-o-oh

  Little skylark, lovely little skylark, Little skylark, I’ll pluck your feathers off.

  I’ll pluck the feathers off your beak. I’ll pluck the feathers off your beak. Off your beak! Off your beak! Off your head! Off your head! Little lark! Little lark! O-o-o-oh

  Little skylark, lovely little skylark, Little skylark, I’ll pluck your feathers off.

  I’ll pluck the feathers off your eyes. I’ll pluck the feathers off your eyes. Off your eyes! Off your eyes! Off your beak! Off your beak! Off your head! Off your head! Little lark! Little lark! O-o-o-oh

    That’s an oddly long song. Thank you for the weird, dark translation that you warned about but I probably didn’t need to know.

      The length of it is because of the way the chorus builds more as the song goes on. It’s a bit like “the 12 days of Christmas” or “99 bottles of beer on the wall” and is meant to take a long time to sing.

      Yeah, it’s the joke though. Cat wants to eat bird.
