The Badgerem by Simbo Rumblebelly Let's take a trip into the woods And walk amongst the trees Where songs of birds do fill the air And sounds of rustling leaves But gentle footsteps can be heard A tapping on the ground And rustling in the undergrowth As Badgers move around! Now wouldn't it be very good To see some Badgers in the woods Asleep so deep in hidden setts The Badgers tucked up tight They wait the fading of the sun And dawning of the night As stars do twinkle in the sky They all come out to play But when the sun does shine again The Badgers hide away When night is nigh I think we should Go tracking Badgers in the wood In bushes, swift and secretly They scurry in the night A glimpse is seen of silver fur A flash of black and white With noses pressed close to the ground And clawing at the roots They're looking for some food to eat Like worms, or fallen fruit I bet they'd eat pie if they could Those hungry Badgers in the wood In large and friendly families The badgers roam about But never going out of sight They keep a close look-out For wolves and owls may hunt them down To them a tasty treat So cunning, badgers have to be And rapid on their feet Never still now are they stood Fast moving Badgers in the wood It has been said, by those who know That if you strum a lute Or whistle out a gentle tune So softly on a flute Then Badgers will come out their setts Entranced by lovely sounds And form a circle, one and all To dance and hop around So play some music if you would Watch badgers dancing in the wood!
