Leaping Lizards
© Cindy Prince 2010

Jumping quickly
Slick, not prickly
Cold blooded blizzards
Leaping Lizards!

I can’t stand it
Sneaky bandit
Looking at the moon
Real life Raccoon!

Crawling along
Wiley but strong
Better stay awake
Slithering snake!

Chorus
Each one is special
Characteristics sublime
Don’t be afraid
Of the fur or the slime
Animals are fantastic
Go out and see
Watch on the ground
Look up a tree
Watch them with me!

Bird of a feather
In any weather
They want to be heard
Beautiful birds!

They can be found
Way underground
Don’t worry ‘bout germs
Wonderful worms!

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Get out the magnifier, get out the net
There are friends out there you’ve never met

Repeat chorus

Hi Cindy,......... I like this as well and Shirley’s insightful comment about :::if the children gonna sing’‘You might wanna
Break down the ‘‘word Characteristic’‘.. and “sublime” are good advice. I like the body more than the chorus. Is it a completed song?
Nice work…....all the best…..Wally

Thanks Wally and Shirl-I hadn’t tried a chilren’s song before so it is all new to me. I see what you are saying-big words for little ones. I will come up with something simple.
Joe, this is my married named but my husband’s family came originally from Germany where the name was Brentz, then Printz, then Prince. A man in Virginia has done extensive research on them. His family settled in Missouri after Penn, Virginia, Indiana, and I think Iowa.
I also know another Cindy Prince but her family is from Arkansas. If you think there is a connection email me at: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

How bout this revised chorus?

Each one is special
Freaky or fun
Don’t be afraid
To get to know one
Animals are fantastic
Go out and see
Watch on the ground
Look up a tree
Watch them with me!

Thanks. No, I don’t have music to it. Sort of a little idea but I am not gifted in the music side at all-so if anyone…?
