Over In the Meadow

Over in the meadow, in a pond in the sun

Lived an old mother duck and her little duck one

"Quack," said the mother, "Quack," said the one

And they quacked and were happy in their pond in the sun

Over in the meadow, in a stream so blue

Lived an old mother fish and her little fish two

"Blub-blub-blub-blub-blub-blub" said the mother, "Blub, blub," said the two

And they swam and were happy in the stream so blue

Over in the meadow, in a nest in the tree

Lived an old mother bird and her birdies three

Said the mother, said the three

And they sang and were happy in their nest in the tree

Over in the meadow, on a rock by the shore

Lived an old mother frog and her little frogs four

"Ribbit," said the mother, "Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit," said the four

And they croaked and were happy on the rock by the shore

Over in the meadow, in a big beehive

Lived an old mother bee and her little bees five

"Bzz-zip," said the mother, "Bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz," said the five

And they buzzed and were happy in the big beehive

Over in the meadow, in the noonday sun

There was a pretty mother and her baby one

"Listen," said the mother, "To the ducks and the bees

To the frogs and the fish, and the birds in the trees"

"Bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz," said the five

"Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit," said the four

Said the three

"Blub, blub"

Said the two

"Quack," said the one

And the little baby laughed just to hear such fun
