Little Squirrels.
Little squirrels, crack your nuts;
Chip your busy tune;
Sound your merry rutatuts—
Boys are coming soon!
Hide today, and pile today,
Hoard a goodly store;
When the boys are gone away,
You may find no more.
Chip your busy tune;
Sound your merry rutatuts—
Boys are coming soon!
Hide today, and pile today,
Hoard a goodly store;
When the boys are gone away,
You may find no more.

Hear you not their merry shout,
Song, and happy laughter?
Sure as leaping, boys are out!—
Girls are coming after.
Hide and pile, then, while you may,
Hoard a goodly store;
If the children come this way,
You may find no more.
Song, and happy laughter?
Sure as leaping, boys are out!—
Girls are coming after.
Hide and pile, then, while you may,
Hoard a goodly store;
If the children come this way,
You may find no more.
