Fields, groves, villages laugh and cheer,
But, careless, I walk my own trail
And sing a solo high and clear:
I am a nightingale!
It's no fluke that my artistry
Is among animals so hailed.
My song is pure as it can be:
I am a nightingale!
Having listened to the nightingale's song,
A Rascal-Monkey, Donkey Billy Goat, and clunky Bear
Set out to set up a Quartet.
How could the music flow?
You are not sitting right.
It's bound to come out fine,
If we sit in a line!
My friends, no changing of positions
Will help you lot become musicians.
To be a musician, I deem,
one needs to have a dose of skill!
