Squirrels
I used to be a gardener and saved all that I earned
I’d weed and dig and rake and other things of which I earned
But I detected mischief every time my back was turned
Sneaky little creatures scurry up and down a tree
The squirrels are hiding things from me
A blur of fur, they flit and fuss
The squirrels are hiding things from us
I would find the toiled land harsh and unforgiving
It’s not all goats and glamour digging holes to earn a living
Daily facing tricks and traps and other such mischieving
Sneaky little creatures scurry up and down a tree
The squirrels are hiding things from me
A blur of fur, they flit and fuss
The squirrels are hiding things from us
They wind up the magpies and startle the thrush
The brave little robin would just sit and watch
Their eyes terrorise and their tails can kill
I’d catch me a squirrel, catch me a squirrel, catch me a squirrel
If they’d just sit still
Now I am retired and my money is all spent
I think about my life and I wonder where it went
At night I hear them potting through the canvas of my tent
Sneaky little creatures scurry up and down a tree
The squirrels are hiding things from me
A blur of fur, they flit and fuss
The squirrels are hiding things from us
Everywhere I go I’m seeing squirrels coloured grey
I don’t see any red ones ‘cos they’ve hidden them away
To everyone I meet, this is what I say
Sneaky little creatures scurry up and down a tree
The squirrels are hiding things from me
A blur of fur, they flit and fuss
The squirrels are hiding things from us
