Fox 02:10
Eggs, eggs, eggs I can’t get enough My number one favorite food So lock your henhouse up I’ll try, try, try to find a way Into your chicken coop You better watch your back Because I’m an expert snoop Stone cold Stone cold thievin’ Late night Late night sneakin’ Henhouse Henhouse robbin’ I can’t help myself I’m stone cold

Hedgehog 01:31
They wanna bite us They wanna eat us They wanna fight us But they can’t be-eat us We’ve got a defense We’ve got a weapon We’ve got these spines So they feel threatened, yeah Roll up, roll up, you gotta stay rolled up They think we’re weak Because we’re tiny But they’re forgetting That we are spiny They wanna bite us They wanna eat us They wanna fight us But they can’t be-eat us

Rabbit 01:21
Hop, hop, I’m always jump-jumping Zig-Zag, I’m always run-running Long ears, I’m always listening Long ears, I can hear you coming When you see me you’re probably being left in my dust The whole forest wants to catch me, so try if you must I’m a rabbit, so my feet are super lucky I’m a rabbit, so my feet are super lucky When you see me you’re probably being left in my dust The whole forest wants to catch me, so try if you must I’m a rabbit, so my feet are super lucky I’m a rabbit, so my feet are super lucky

Chipmunk 01:35
They always got us and squirrels confused Call me a squirrel, and I was not amused Yeah, we both hunt for nuts all day And we run in front of cars, okay? [Okay!] Chorus But look at our tails Look at our stripes Just look at our tails Look at our stripes We’re not the same, not the same, not the same The other day my mama sat me down On her face she wore a terrible frown That’s when she gave me the awful news Guess what? We’re squirrels, too. Chorus But look at our tails Look at our stripes Just look at our tails Look at our stripes We’re not the same, not the same, not the same We’re not the only ones with this problem Prairie Dogs are in the squirrel column And woodchucks are stuck with it I refuse, I refuse to admit it Chorus But look at our tails Look at our stripes Just look at our tails Look at our stripes We’re not the same, not the same, not the same

Raccoon 01:42
10 PM. Late last night. Guided by my big appetite. I found your trash can. Picked it clean. What you throw out is my favorite cuisine. Chorus Another night, another upset tummy Let’s face it; your trash tastes (so) yummy Banana peels. Chicken gravy. Potato chips, the ones that are wavy. Pizza crust with rotten cauliflower. I don’t care if it’s been left out for hours. Chorus Another night, another upset tummy Let’s face it; your trash tastes (so) yummy

Bluebird 01:59
We’re the birds with the most refined taste All of our homes must be perfectly placed You gotta build me a house that’s the best Because we won’t stand for any old nest Some birds gather branches and twigs And others get in the dirt and dig They work all day without any rest But we get the humans to build our nests! Chorus Look up in the trees Up there in the breeze Even the fleas can’t jump there...it’s true! Baby, we’ve got houses Baby, we’ve got houses How about you? We’re the envy of the birds, the envy of the forest They want our houses; they want to be us We know we’re picky, but we know we’re the best And we won’t stand for any old nest Chorus Look up in the trees Up there in the breeze Even the fleas can’t jump there...it’s true! Baby, we’ve got houses Baby, we’ve got houses How about you?

Hummingbird 02:00
We’re all around, but we’re hard to see You gotta watch the sky real carefully We’re out there, flit-flit-flittin’ around Our wings flutter at a super-sonic pace Flower drinking with maximum grace We’re out there, zip-zip-zippin’ around Chorus Smallest birds with fastest wings, we hover while the others sing Our hearts beat twenty times faster than yours It’s hard work to zip around outdoors Out there, flit flit-flittin’ around Though we’re dedicated nectar eaters We appreciate you putting out hummingbird feeders ‘Cause we’re out there, zip-zip-zippin’ around Chorus Smallest birds with fastest wings, we hover while the others sing
8.
Opossum 03:19
You always say we’ve got rat tails We know you think that they’re gross But we’re here to give the possum perspective They’re the things we dig the most As far as sight goes, we got shortchanged To us, the whole world is a blur We’re not cute like kittens or puppies You wouldn’t want to pet our fur* We can’t help but play possum If you scare us, we kinda pass out We’ve got beady eyes, sharp, ugly fangs Weird claws and a little pink snout We get it, we’re not super handsome But our lives are super laid back Hanging and climbing with our strong grippy tails We wander the night hunting snacks We’re just hanging around (Swinging and climbing around) We’re just hanging around (Swinging and climbing around) We’re just hanging around (Swinging and climbing around) We’re just hanging– We’re just hanging around

Squirrel 02:06
In the trees, in the trees, there is safety in the trees There is shelter and safety in the trees On the ground, on the ground, there is chaos on the ground There is nothing but chaos on the ground When we climb, when we climb, there is everywhere to hide There is everywhere to hide when we climb When we run, when we run, there is danger when we run There is nothing but danger when we run We gather our food, all kinds of things that grow Pecans and peach pits and even spiny pine cones Apples and acorns and even avocados At the first flake of winter, we’ve got to be ready to go You know we’ll be okay ‘Cause we’ve stashed those nuts away In our leafy homes We’ll be cozy safe inside ‘Cause winter’s time to hide In our leafy homes The spring’s not far ahead Back to foraging and dread But let’s enjoy our safe and cozy, warm and snoozy time In our leafy homes

Bat 02:01
You were at the picnic sucking everyone's blood I was sleeping upside down in my cave but I heard you buzzing You looked so delicious, TONIGHT, I'll get you with my sonar Screaming around at night, hunting for pests like you I'm getting revenge for all the itchy people I'm blind; I'm blind; I'm so blind, but I've got a special power You were so delicious, TONIGHT, I got you with my sonar.

Deer 02:47
All around you We surround you Softly moving Through the trees (ad infinitum)
