As they're meeting with their friends

Sharing odds and ends

Chatting with their friends...

(Whistles)

What's that sound? Worms go by

Squishing, squirming through the earth

Peck-peck here, peck-peck there

Too much work for what they're worth

Oh, my

Look at those magpies

Look just there sparkling thing

Dewdrop, bottle top, diamond ring

Magpies love what glimmers best

Things to make their nest impress

Oh, my

Look at those magpies.

Dancing to the music in a balletic way

Makes us rond de jambe with glee

Round half-circles with a pointed foot

There is so much to do

when the music takes you

The music of the ballet...

(Emma's bows flutter transition to the Instrumental break)

Simon: (singing) When I hear the music of the orchestra

It inspires in me some bel canto

I sing in... (Deep voice) ...baritone

Or switch to.. (High voice) ...falsetto

where it should go

Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom

La-la-la-la-la

(Deep voice) La-la-la-la-la-la-la

(High voice) La-la-la-la-la-la-la...

when the music takes you

The beauty of the ballet orchestra...

(Red music notes transition to the Instrumental break)

It makes me think of moonbeams

I sing and snore in my sleep

I have, I must say, musical dreams

La-la-la... (Snores, whistles, and snores)

There is so much to do

when the music takes you

The music of the ballet
