The singing sea

The talking trees

Are silent in a noisy way

The stars are bright

But give no light

The world spins backwards everyday

(Hey, look at that)

A rainbow rat

A checkered cat

Go tail in tail along the road

The mouse is pleased

The moon is cheese

The sun is shining hot and cold

A golden bird

Today I heard

Sitting upon a silver branch

His little song

Was very long

Which made me sad and start to laugh

(Ooh, let me see)

My sister's he

My brother's she

But there is only me in the family

When I grow up

Oh, I'll go down

The river to that singing sea

(Mm-hmm)
