First Line: The blackbird always makes me laugh
Last Line: He's not just what I think.
Subject(s): Laughter


The blackbird always makes me laugh
(He's such a sober fellow);
I think he's funnier than if
His coat were red or yellow.

He walks along the garden path
With very solemn tread --
You'd almost think he really knew
Some dear bird friend was dead.

But when he comes quite up to me,
I'm sure I've seen him wink,
As if he'd have me understand
He's not just what I think.
