Over in the Meadow lyrics:

Over in the meadow
In the sand in the sun
Lived a kind mother turtle
And her little turtle one
"Wink!" said the mother
"I wink!" said the one
So they winked and they blinked
In the sand in the sun

Over in the meadow
Where the stream runs blue
Lived an shiny mother fish
And her little fishes two
"Swim!" said the mother
"We swim!" said the two
So they swam and they swam
Where the stream runs blue

Over in the meadow
In a hole in a tree
Lived a wise mother owl
And her little owls three
"Hoot!" said the mother
"We hoot!" said the three
So they hooted and hooted
Near a hole in the tree

Over in the meadow
In a lodge near the shore
Lived a brown mother beaver
And her little beavers four
"Dive!" said the mother
"We dive!" said the four
So they dove and they splashed
By the lodge near the shore

Over in the meadow
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

Over in the meadow
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

Over in the meadow
When the clock strikes eleven
There's a noisy mother cricket
And her little crickets seven
"Chirp!" said the mother
"We chirp!" said the seven
So they chirped cheery notes
When the clock struck eleven

Over in the meadow
By the old mossy gate
Lived a scaly 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

Over in the meadow
Where the quiet pools shine
Lived a green mother frog
And her little froggies nine
"Croak!" said the mother
"We croak!" said the nine
So they croaked and they splashed
Where the quiet pools shine

Over in the meadow
In a nice 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 nice little den
