In this brief fragment, a wandering early bird depends on someone who will find him wherever he goes. His small hope is not simply to be picked up, but to be taken home.

Early bird comes crawlin' down the Vine
Bawlin' ng yesterday but now he's fine
He knows you will pick him up wherever he may roam
He only prays that when you do
You will take him home
