Song Lyrics

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 the pond in the sun

Over in the meadow
In a stream so blue
Lived an old mother fish
And her little fish two
"Bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop!" said the mother
"Bloop, bloop!" 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
"Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet!" said the mother
"Tweet, tweet, tweet!" said the three
And they sang and were happy
In the nest in the tree

Over in the meadow
On a rock by the shore
Lived and 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 and old mother bee
And little bees five
"Bzzzup!" said the mother
"Bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz!" said the five
And the buzzed and were happy
In the big beehive

Over in the meadow
In the noon day 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
"Tweet, tweet, tweet!" said the three
"Bloop, bloop!" said the two
"Quack!" said the one
And the little baby laughed
Just to hear such fun!
