Over In The Meadow

Over in the meadow in the sand in the sun
Lived an old mother turtle and her little turtle one
"Dig," said the mother, "dig, dig," said the one
And they dug all day in the sand in the sun

Over in the meadow where the stream runs blue
Lived an old mother fish and her little fish, two
"Swim," said the mother, "swim, swim," said the two
And they swam, and they leaped where the stream runs blue

Over in the forest in a hole in the tree
Lived an old father owl and his little owls, three
"Hoo," said the father, "hoo, hoo," said the three
And they hooed all day in the hole in the tree

Over in the field by the old barn door
Lived an old mother mouse and her little mice, four
"Squeak," said the mother, "squeak, squeak," said the four
And they sqeaked all day on by the old barn door

High up in the treetop in a snug beehive
Lived a mother honeybee and her little bees, five
"Bzzz," said the mother, "bzzz, bzzz," said the five
And they buzzed and they hummed in the snug beehive

Over in the park in a nest built of sticks
Lived an old father robin and his little robins, six
"Tweet," said the mother, "tweak tweet," said the six
And they tweeted all day in the nest built of sticks

Over in the schoolyard by the kids eating melon
Lived an old mother fruitfly and her little fruitfly, seven
"Zip," said the mother, "zip, zip," said the seven
And they zipped all day by the kids eating melon

Over in the woods by the old mossy gate
Lived an old mother snake and her little snakes, eight
"Ssss," said the mother, "ssss, ssss," said the eight
And they ssssed all day by the old mossy gate

Over by the river where the quiet water shines
Lived a green father frog and his little frogs, nine
"Ribbit," said the father, "ribbit, ribbit," said the nine
And they splished, and they splashed where the quiet water shine

Over in the meadow in a cozy, little den
Lived an old mother spider and her little spiders, ten
"Spin," said the mother, "spin, spin," said the ten
So they spun lacey webs in their cozy little den

And they laughed, and they played, until it was time for bed
