lyrics

Have you ever tried to be a squirrel in a tree
Leaping from branch to branch?
Have you ever tried to be a squirrel in a tree
Check it out when you get the chance
Have you ever tried to be a squirrel in a tree
Snuggling down in their nest of leaves
Have you ever tried to be a squirrel in a tree
You can try it now if you please

Down in the bog there are a bunch of logs
Where the sun is shining bright
Jump like a frog, jump from log to log,
Jump in the warm sunlight
Over on a stone a turtle rests alone
Warming their shell in the sun
The turtle isn’t fazed when the frogs start to play
Jumping over them for fun

Splash!
Jump into the water!
Feel the cool of the pool
On your sunbaked skin
The fish,
Are so happy to see us
It’s like a pool party
When we jump in

A duck paddles by with an eye on the sky
Ready to stretch their wings
They wave their wings good bye and take off to fly
“Quack, quack, quack” they sing
It feels so nice to fly so high up in the sky
After that lovely rest
They flew all around then landed on the ground
And waddled off too their nest

Were you the squirrel in the tree?
Were you the frog on the log?
Were you the turtle on the stone resting all alone??
Were you the fish in the pool having fun at the party?
Were you the duck in the sky flying all the way home?
Fly home fly home…..
