Over in the Meadow - Raffi

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 their pond in the sun

Over in the meadow in a stream so blue

Lived an old mother fish and her little fish two

«Blip-blip-blip-blip-blip,» said the mother

«Blip-blip,» 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

And they sang and were happy in their 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

«Bizzip,» said the mother

«Biz-biz-biz-biz-biz,» said the five

And they buzzed and were happy in the big beehive

Over in the meadow in the noonday 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

«Biz-biz-biz-biz-biz,» said the five

«Ribbit-ribbit-ribbit-ribbit,» said the four

«Blip-blip,» said the two

«Quack!»

said the one

And the little baby laughed just to hear such fun!
