4 HUNGRY CHICKS (FOLK SONG)

 THE HUNGRY CHICKS. 

Said the first little chicken, 

With a queer little squirm, 

“I wish I could find 

A fat little worm ! ” 

Said the second little chicken, 

With an odd little shrug, 

“I wish I could find 

A fat little bug! ” 

Said the third little chicken, 

With a small sigh of grief, 

“ I wish I could find 

A little green leaf! ” 

Said the fourth little chicken, 

With a faint little moan, 

“ I wish I could find 

A wee gravel-stone ! ” 

“Now, see here!” said the mother, 

From the green garden patch, 

“ If you want any breakfast, 

Just come here and scratch! ”
