My Squirrel Lost His Peanut Lyrics

I had a little friend so spry and sweet

With a bushy tail and tiny feet

He'd scurry 'round without a care

Stashing peanuts everywhere

Oh my squirrel lost his peanuts can't find 'em high or low

In the trees or in the ground where did those peanuts go?

Through the woods and fields he scours under every stone

Poor little squirrel searching all alone

He sniffed the ground checked every tree

Climbed up high looked down at me

With tiny paws and hopeful eyes

But all he found were empty sighs

Oh my squirrel lost his peanuts can't find 'em high or low

In the trees or in the ground where did those peanuts go?

Through the woods and fields he scours under every stone

Poor little squirrel searching all alone

He sniffed the ground checked every tree

Climbed up high looked down at me

With tiny paws and hopeful eyes

But all he found were empty sighs

Oh my squirrel lost his peanuts can't find 'em high or low

In the trees or in the ground where did those peanuts go?

Through the woods and fields he scours under every stone

Poor little squirrel searching all alone

Maybe a chipmunk took them away

Or a blue jay snuck in and stashed them away

Through autumn's breeze and winter's snow

He's still looking—oh no where'd they go?

Now spring has come he's back again

Digging up the earth and then—

A golden nut shines in the sun

Finally found—look he's won!

Oh my squirrel found his peanuts after searching to and fro

In the trees and in the ground they were right below

Through the woods and fields he danced no longer all alone

My little squirrel found his treasure now he's home

So when you lose what's dear to you don't miss a single beat

Sometimes the thing you're searching for is right beneath your feet
