I have heard the song Compton mentioned (which may not be Eine Kleine Fliegel Fluge Bird at all) sung at a Scout camp in the Adirondacks, which claims to have created it about 50 years ago. Its similar lyrics are as follows: Early in the morning When I'm fast asleep Heard a little birdie Go cheep-cheep. And the little birdie Has a funny name. His ... name ... is ... Iga-fliga-fleega-fliga-ishca-nishca-naga-naga-iga-fliga-fleega-fliga-birdie! Gone to buy some birdseed For my window sill Just to keep him quiet Just to keep him still. It's for the little birdie With a funny name. His ... name ... is ... Iga-fliga-fleega-fliga-ishca-nishca-naga-naga-iga-fliga-fleega-fliga-birdie!
