Nothing conveys the speed of a hummingbird's wings quite like an overactive xylophone sample.
lyrics
We’re all around, but we’re hard to see
You gotta watch the sky real carefully
We’re out there, flit-flit-flittin’ around
Our wings flutter at a super-sonic pace
Flower drinking with maximum grace
We’re out there, zip-zip-zippin’ around
Chorus
Smallest birds with fastest wings, we hover while the others sing
Our hearts beat twenty times faster than yours
It’s hard work to zip around outdoors
Out there, flit flit-flittin’ around
Though we’re dedicated nectar eaters
We appreciate you putting out hummingbird feeders
‘Cause we’re out there, zip-zip-zippin’ around
Chorus
Smallest birds with fastest wings, we hover while the others sing
