Wild Wetlands Lyrics
Mrs. Mosquito, she’s been flying all day
looking for blood for the eggs she will lay,
eggs she will lay, she’s hungry all day,
eggs she will lay. What do mosquitoes say? (bzzzzzzz)
She spots the nose of an otter and then zeros in.
But a fish catches her, as the otter eats him.
CHORUS
Where the tall grass bends
and the swamp trees stand,
it’s the food and the shelter
of the wild wetlands.
There sits the owl.
He’s been sleeping all day.
He waits for the night.
Then he hunts his prey.
He hunts his prey. He hunts the night away, hunts his prey.
What does the owl say? (Hoo, hoo)
With thick wide wings, he silently flies
looking through the darkness
with powerful eyes.
CHORUS
Here come the ducks.
They’ve been flying all day.
They’re tired and looking
for a place to stay, a place to stay,
a place to hide away, a place to stay.
What do the ducks say? (quack, quack)
The flock spots water and it circles around.
Cupping their wings,
they let the Earth pull them down.
CHORUS
