Here Is The Ostrich Lyrics

Here is the ostrich straight and tall
Nodding his head above us all

Here is the long snake on the ground
Wriggling upon the stones he found

Here are the birds that fly so high
Spreading their wings across the sky

Here is the hedgehog prickly and small
Rolling himself into a ball

Here is the spider scuttling around
Treading so lightly on the ground

Here are the children fast asleep
And here at night the owls do peep
