I sat by the lake, I looked at the sky
And as I looked, a fly went by
A fly went by, he said oh dear
I saw him shake, he shook with fear
And when I saw that fly go past
I asked him why he went so fast
I asked him why he shook with fear
I asked him why he said oh dear
He said I must get out of here
The fly said look and you will see
That frog, that frog is after me
The fly went past, the frog came fast
I asked the frog, I asked him why
Why do you want to get that fly
The frog said me, I want no fly
But I must hop and this is why
That cat, hе said, just look and see
That cat, he said, is after me
Thеn he was gone with one big hop
The cat ran up, and I said stop
Now stop, stop, stop, I told the cat
Do not pick on the frog like that
The cat said look, I want no frog
I have to get away from dog
So, the fly ran away in fear of the frog
Who ran from the cat, who ran from the dog
One ran from the other, the other ran, too
From one who came after, now what could I do?
Away past the lake went the fly and the frog
Away past the lake run the cat and the dog
They went past a shed, and they went up a hill
I ran and I said, I will stop them, I will
The fly does not know that the frog is not mad
The frog does not know that the cat is not bad
The cat runs in fear of the dog, I can tell
If I can stop him, then all will be well
I ran a lot, I ran so fast
I came up to the dog at last
Now, stop, I said, you are the one
Who did all this, why do you run?
Why do you want to bite that cat?
Oh, you are bad to be like that
The dog said no, that is not so
I want no cat, that cat can go
I do not want to bite that cat
I run to get away from that
That pig, he said, look back and see
She likes to bite, and she wants me
So, the fly ran away in fear of the frog
Who ran from the cat, who ran from the dog
The dog ran away in fear of the pig
My, she was mad, and was she big?
I said to the pig, so you are the one
In back of all of this; now, why do you run?
Now, why should a pig bite a dog? I said
And why are you mad? Are you out of your head?
The pig said, I am not out of my head
See what is after me; look, she said
That cow will hit me, said the pig
Those things up on her head are big
So the pig ran fast, she ran past fast
Then the cow ran up, and a little cow, too
I said, now what got into you?
Do not pick on that pig, you 2
The cow said, pig? That pig can go
That is not why we run, oh no
But someone bad has made us run
He wants to kill my Little One
I asked the cow, who wants to kill
