1) Over in the meadow in a pond in the sun
Am F G C
Sat an old mother frog and her little froggie one
C F C
"Hop" said the mother, "I hop" said the one
Am F G C
And they hopped and were happy in the pond in the sun

2) Over in the meadow in a worn out shoe
Sat an old mother cat and her little kittens two
"Purr" said the mother, "we purr" said the two
And they purred and were happy in the worn out shoe

4) ...old apple core...worm (wormies)...squirm

5) ...old bee hive...queen bee (bees)...buzz

6) ...house made of sticks...dog (puppies)...bark

7) ...tree of heaven...owl (owlets)...hoot

8) ...old packing crate...duck (ducklings)...quack
