Red footed boobie

Where did you come from red footed boobie and where are you off to next?
In the night, the sky made you, oh so bright, a little white blob on the bow.
Its the day now and youre' still with us, holding on tight to the bar.
Fluffing your feathers, drying yourself, making yourself all new.


Where did you come from red footed boobie and where are you off to next?
We named you Harry and as we carry you along, to your new island home,
How long will you stay before you fly away, along to your new boobie home?
You have big red feet and big blue eyes, they help you to eat at night,
We think your home is far far away to the east in the Hawaii Isles.


Where did you come from red footed boobie and where are you off to next?
You stayed three days and three nights and made the boat your home, but then you decided to leave.
Off you went to fish, you flew far away and didnt come back, so today must be your day.
The wind has changed, its from behind, so maybe thats why you left, an easy run, great glider bird and with your
wings held forward, you can fly so fast and low.
Thanks for visiting, it was good fun, checking you out on the bow, the shrieks of delight as the boys discovered
you had stayed another night.
Now you've gone and flown away to find another home.
Where did you come from red footed boobie and where are you off to next?
