O how you scamper and scurry
always in such a hurry
Gathering nuts with such worry.
With your friends you love to play
chasing each other all the way
O squirrel how you make my day.

O how you scamper and scurry
always in such a hurry
gathering nuts with such worry.
With your friends you love to play
chasing each other all the way.
O squirrel how you make my day.

Little squirrel as I watch you climb the tree
I am amazed at how lithe your feet can be.
Running up or running down
Some how you never hit the ground.
No matter how much rain, wind, or snow you see
Some how you still make it safely up and down the tree.

As I watch you jump from branch to branch
Doing your death defying mid air dance
You land effortlessly then hop to the next
All the while I hope for your best.
