Oh, the things you can find

Oh, the thing you can find in your own backyard.
If you keep your eyes open, it's not very hard.
Such a big world, so full of creation.
...All you need is a little imagination.
A world of wonder unlike any kind.
In your own backyard, oh the things you can find.

Sammy Suggs likes to play with slugs.
He knows the trail of snails by their slime.
He would sit in place and watch them race.
And THAT took a very long time.

Benny Boggs likes to catch frogs
But he always let them go.
They were good at leaping but not for keeping,
So he watched them hop off in a row.

His sister Jenny had a copper penny.
She flipped it for heads or tails.
If heads hit the ground, she watched frogs jump around.
For tails, she would sit and watch snails.

Oh, the things you can find in you own backyard.
If you keep your eyes open, it's not very hard.
Crickets and butterflies, worms under rocks.
Turtles that snap, turtles that box.
A world of wonder, unlike any kind.
In your own backyard, Oh the things you can find.

Sammy's sister Claire picked flowers for her hair.
She gave some to Benny's sister, Jenny.
The flowers were so nice, Jenny didn't think twice.
She gave Claire her own copper penny.

All the Boggs and the Suggs like catching lightning bugs.
They put them in jars and watch them light.
And, as we all know, they let them go
So they can catch them again tomorrow night.

Oh, the things you can find in your own backyard.
If you keep your eyes open, it's not very hard.
Grasshoppers and caterpillars, a flower for a friend.
Sticks for magic wands- All you need to do is pretend!
A world of wonder, unlike any kind.
In your own backyard, oh the things you can find.
