Over in the Meadow Lyrics

 Over in the meadow,

In the sand in the sun

Lived an old mother toadie

And her little toadie one

"Wink!" said the mother;

"I wink!" said the one,

So they winked and they blinked

In the sand in the sun

Over in the meadow,

Where the stream runs blue

Lived an old mother fish

And her little fishes two

"Swim!" said the mother;

"We swim!" said the two,

So they swam and they leaped

Where the stream runs blue

Over in the meadow,

In a hole in a tree

Lived an old mother bluebird

And her little birdies three

"Sing!" said the mother;

"We sing!" said the three

So they sang and were glad

In a hole in the tree

Over in the meadow,

In the reeds on the shore

Lived an old mother muskrat

And her little ratties four

"Dive!" said the mother;

"We dive!" said the four

So they dived and they burrowed

In the reeds on the shore

Over in the meadow,

In a snug beehive

Lived a mother honey bee

And her little bees five

"Buzz!" said the mother;

"We buzz!" said the five

So they buzzed and they hummed

In the snug beehive

Over in the meadow,

In a nest built of sticks

Lived a black mother crow

And her little crows six

"Caw!" said the mother;

"We caw!" said the six

So they cawed and they called

In their nest built of sticks

Over in the meadow,

Where the grass is so even

Lived a gay mother cricket

And her little crickets seven

"Chirp!" said the mother;

"We chirp!" said the seven

So they chirped cheery notes

In the grass soft and even

Over in the meadow,

By the old mossy gate

Lived a brown mother lizard

And her little lizards eight

"Bask!" said the mother;

"We bask!" said the eight

So they basked in the sun

On the old mossy gate

Over in the meadow,

Where the quiet pools shine

Lived a green mother frog

And her little froggies nine

"Croak!" said the mother;

"We croak!" said the nine

So they croaked and they splashed

Where the quiet pools shine

Over in the meadow,

In a sly little den

Lived a gray mother spider

And her little spiders ten

"Spin!" said the mother;

"We spin!" said the ten

So they spun lacy webs

In their sly little den
