with a lilt and a tilt
Ha, I shall go the while
roving over bush and meadows
with a hop and a jump
like a kangaroo
I’ll be away the while
avoiding the roads
with a zzzzz and bzzzzz
like a busy bee
I’ll fly the while
over flowers and gardens
and the free open space
with a bounce and a quiet look
I’ll crawl and hide
in quiet burrows the while
like introduced rabbits
chased by farmers
and with a swing and a flip
a light somersault in the air
I’ll be back before you can say:
“dolphins and whales”
with a lilt and a tilt
Ha, I shall go the while
roving over bush and meadows

Ha, I shall go the while
roving over bush and meadows
with a hop and a jump
like a kangaroo
I’ll be away the while
avoiding the roads
with a zzzzz and bzzzzz
like a busy bee
I’ll fly the while
over flowers and gardens
and the free open space
with a bounce and a quiet look
I’ll crawl and hide
in quiet burrows the while
like introduced rabbits
chased by farmers
and with a swing and a flip
a light somersault in the air
I’ll be back before you can say:
“dolphins and whales”
with a lilt and a tilt
Ha, I shall go the while
roving over bush and meadows
