Over in the meadow in the sand in the sun
Lived an old mother duck and her little ducky 1
"Quack" said the mother, "I quack" said the 1
So they quacked and they quacked in the sand in the sun
Over in the meadow where the stream runs blue
Lived an old mother fish and her little fishes 2
"Swim" said the mother, "We swim" said the 2
So they swam and they leaped where the stream runs blue
Over in the meadow with a hole in a tree
Lived an old mother bluebird and her little birdies 3
"Sing" said the mother, "We sing" said the 3
So they sang and were glad in a hole in the tree
Over in the meadow in the reeds on the shore
Lived an old mother frog and her little froggies 4
"Dive" said the mother, "We dive" said the 4
So they dived and they burrowed in the reeds on the shore
Over in the meadow in a snug beehive
Lived a mother honeybee and her little bees 5
"Bzzz" said the mother, "We bzzz" said the 5
So they buzzed and they hummed in the snug beehive
