Forest Sing Along

Deep in the forest,
Near a spot of 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
Near a spot of sun

Deep in the forest,
Where the stream runs through
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 through

Deep in the forest,
In a hole in a tree
Lived an old mother wren
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

Deep in the forest,
By the bayou’s 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
By the bayou’s shore

Deep in the forest,
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

Deep in the forest,
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

Deep in the forest,
In the leaves soft and even
Lived a cheery mother cricket
And her little crickets seven
"Chirp!" said the mother;
"We chirp!" said the seven
So they chirped cheery notes
In the leaves soft and even

Deep in the forest,
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

Deep in the forest,
Where the quiet pools shine
Lived a green mother frog
And her little froggies nine
"Hop!" said the mother;
"We hop!" said the nine
So they hopped and they splashed
Where the quiet pools shine

Deep in the forest,
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
