Pretty Little Corakeets

This song was written by a Crestport native and is often heard at both family gatherings and parties.

 

Lyrics:

Fresh Crescent moon on a beautiful day
lying back on the sand, nothing to say,
Here comes the Corakeets flying my way.
the pretty little songbirds have come to play...

LA LA LA LA
cac cac koo!
the pretty little Corakeets are singing to you~
LA LA LA LA
CAC CAC KOO!
THE PRETTY LITTLE CORAKEETS ARE SINGING TO YOU-

Now it's noon and we're having a blast,
Playing in the ocean, Giggling as we splash,
When we hear a trill up in the palms,
The corakeets coming by to sing along-

LA LA LA LA
cac cac koo!
the pretty little Corakeets are singing to you~
LA LA LA LA
CAC CAC KOO!
THE PRETTY LITTLE CORAKEETS ARE SINGING TO YOU-

It's half past five and you're already beat,
pillow soft sand, burning up your feet.
you're almost home and it's quite a feat,
when you see those pretty corakeets giving a tweet-

LA LA LA LA
cac cac koo!
the pretty little Corakeets are singing to you~
LA LA LA LA
CAC CAC KOO!
THE PRETTY LITTLE CORAKEETS ARE SINGING TO YOU-

It's now quarter past nine and its time to go,
pull the curtains, it's the end of the show,
but as you leave, you hear a somber crow,
of the pretty little corakeets wishing you farewell-

LA LA LA LA
cac cac koo."
