about

The Chiff chaff is one of the first summer migrant birds to arrive in the UK and its simple song heralds the spring.

lyrics

Winter nights have been so long and the winds have been so strong
Cold grey days have set the tone, winter blues have grown and grown
So listen to the chiff chaff, singing sun or rain
Such a simple little song means spring is here again
Oh listen to the chiff chaff, he’s just flown in from Spain
Choosing his territory and spring is here again

October nights were drawing in, November leaves whipped up by wind
Turning of the New Year came bringing hail and freezing rain
So listen to the chiff chaff, just flown in from Spain
Choosing his territory and spring is here again
Yeah listen to the chiff chaff, no need to explain
Such a simple little song means spring is here again

Springtime warms those aching bones, it’s not so bad to be alone
Sunbeams strike your window pane and optimism rules again
So listen to the chiff chaff, singing in the rain
Such a simple little song and spring is here again
Oh listen to the chiff chaff, he’s just flown in from Spain
Choosing his territory and spring is here again,
Spring is here again, yeah spring is here again
