Canary Oh cheeky chappy Darting around in flash of yellow lightly go sprightly Oh feathered cello How you lighten my day with your flashing ray Oh how I love your morning sing While flying on the wing Resplendent in colour In flight of fancy fine How on gods earth We're you allowed down the mine thank you

Thank you Christopher. A fact of life was that miners took canaries down the mines to check if poisonous gases were afoot before going in themselves
