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 dig!" said the one
and they dug all day
in the sand, in the sun

Over in the meadow
where the stream runs blue
lived an old mother fish
and her little fishies two

"Swim!" said the mother
"We swim!" said the two
and they swam all day
where the stream runs blue

Ah-ah-ah!

Over in the meadow 
in a hole in the tree
lived an old mother owl
and her Little owls three

"Whoo!" said the mother
"We whoo!" said the three
and they whoo'd all day
in the hole in the tree

And over in the meadow
by the big barn door
lived an old mother mouse
and her little mousies four

"Squeak!" said the mother
"We squeak!" said the four
and they squeaked all day
by the big barn door

Over in the meadow
in a snug beehive
lived an old mother bee
and her little bees five

"Buzz," said the mother
"We buzz,"  said the five
and they buzzed
all day in the snug beehive

Buzz!

Over in the meadow!
