Over in the Meadow Lyrics

Over in the meadow, in the sand, in the sun

Lived an old mother turtle and her little turtle one

Dig said the mother

I did said the one

So he dug all day in the sand in the sun

Over in the meadow, in the stream so blue

Lived an old mother fish and her little fishes two

Swim said the mother

We swim said the two

So they swam all day in the stream so blue

Over in the meadow, in a nest in a tree

Lived an old mother robin and her little birdies three

Sing said the mother

We sing said the three

So they sang all day in the nest in the tree

Over in the meadow, by a tall sycamore

Lived an old mother chipmunk and her little chipmunks four

Play said the mother

We play said the four

So they played and were glad by the tall sycamore

Over in the meadow, in cozy beehive

Lived an old mother bee and her honeybees five

Buzz said the mother

We buzz said the five

So they buzzed all day in the cozy little hive

Over in the meadow, by a dam built of sticks

Lived an old mother beaver and her little beavers six

Build said the mother

We build said the six

So they built all day on the dam built of sticks

Over in the meadow, in the green wet bogs

Lived an old mother frog and her little polliwogs

Swim said the mother

We swim said the 'wogs

So they swam and were glad in the green wet bogs

Over in the meadow, as the day grew late

Lived an old mother owl and her little owls eight

Hoot said the mother

We hoot said the eight

So they hooted and were glad as the day grew late

Over in the meadow, by a towering pine

Lived an old mother fox and her little foxes nine

Run said the mother

We run said the nine

So they ran all day by the towering pine

Over in the meadow, in a warm little den

Lived an old mother rabbit and her little bunnies ten

Hop said the mother

We hop said the ten

So they hopped all day in the warm little den
