- Backyard Treasures
- (to the tune of "Clementine")
In the backyard, there are treasures,
- There are treasures all around,
- If I look hard in my back yard,
- All the treasures can be found.
Found some pine cones and an ant hill,
- And a toad all squashed and dead.
- I can hide them in my pocket,
- And I'll keep them 'neath my bed.
Momma found them in my pocket,
- So she yelled and screamed and cried.
- "You can keep those rotten pine cones,
- But can't keep the toad that died."
So I took them to the backyard,
- To her flower bed to rest.
- I'm so glad she didn't find that
- Beetle hidden in her desk!
