springtime in brooklyn

[bracknell]

Does anyone out there know of this poem it starts: 

Spring is sprung the grass is rize, I wonder where the birdie is.

I cant remember the next few lines as it is approx 30 years since I had to recite it in a guide show.  Can anyone complete it or tell me the poet please. 

Ta Muchly folks

"Spring has sprung"

this I was told is from a piece of poetry called the Brooklyn Lyullaby and you should say it with a New York City Brooklyn
accent. The correct version is as follows:
Spring is sprung
The grass is rize
I wonder where the birdie is
The bird is on the wing
But say that's absurd
The wing is on the bird

[ermintrude35]

..oh and I think it's by David Gonzalez...

I thought it went like this

Spring is sprung
The grass is riz
I wonder where
The Birdie Is

The Bird is on the wing
Now isn't that absurd
I had always thought
The wing was on the bird.

"The spring is sprung
The grass is riz
I wonder where
The boydy iz
They say the boyd is on the wing
But that's absoyd
The wing is on the boyd".

[Tatty Rollox]

In many versions "the" is "dee".
