Once upon a time, in a land far away
Lived nine little creatures, who loved to play
One was a rabbit, who hopped around
Two were kittens, who purred and lounged

Three were puppies, who barked and ran
Four were squirrels, who gathered acorns in a can
Five were birds, who flew so high
Six were ants, who worked nearby

Seven were bees, who buzzed all day
Eight were fish, who swam away
And they all had one thing in common, you see
They loved to explore and be wild and free

One day, they all gathered together
To explore the land and find adventure
They traveled far and wide, without any care
And found new things, everywhere

They climbed mountains and sailed the sea
And found new friends, just like you and me
So don't be afraid to explore and dream
And find new adventures, on this wonderful scene.
