there was a little rat he just long to fly
in a big balloon high up in the sky
flying round the world and all across the sea
high above the clouds flying high and free
he bought a big balloon then he began to blow
now the rat was ready time for him to go
floating in the skies in the sky so blue
he could see for miles such a lovely view
suddenly the wind it began to change
the balloon had lost control and acting rather strange
it drifted to an island and landed on the shore
to a foreign land  he never saw before
he took a look around and walked along the beach
in this land so faraway that was out of reach
he came across a turtle a friendly chap was he
walking on the sand down towards the sea
rat he told the turtle his balloon had lost control
and that he was stranded the poor little soul
turtle he  told rat i know what to do
we will got some logs and build a raft for you
so they built a raft and rat set out to sea
he said goodbye to turtle now a sailor rat was he
following the stars he found his own way back
to his little home along the forest track
