Full Lyrics
Over in the meadow, in the sand, in the sun, Lived an old mother turtle and her little turtle one. "Dig!" said the mother. "I dig!" said the one. So he dug all day in the sand, in the sun. Over in the meadow, where the stream runs blue, Lived an old mother fish and her little fishies two. "Swim!" said the mother. "We swim!" said the two. So they swam all day where the stream runs blue. Over in the meadow, in a hole in a tree, Lived an old mother bluebird and her little birdies three. "Sing!" said the mother. "We sing!" said the three. So they sang all day in a hole in the tree.
