I was running in the Heavens,
And I tripped over a rainbow,
I fell down on the Northern Lights,
That's how I scraped knees and elbows.

I dove into the deep blue sea,
And met up with a hungry shark,
An octopus with his eight legs,
And an eel with electric spark!

I was jumping over the moon,
When I bounced a little too high,
Hit my head on the hot, hot sun,
That's when I fell out of the sky.

I wanted to meet Paul Bunyon,
And other heroes from my books,
While wading in the briny creek,
I ran into the Captain's hooks!

I was playing "Tag" with the stars,
I discovered they don't play fair,
They've all these neat hiding places,
And they keep pulling on my hair.

I poked my eye out with a fish,
While getting a pail of water,
Only I could could do such a thing,
Please meet my seeing-eye otter!

I went to bed to get some rest,
I spent the whole night counting sheep,
One of them stepped right on my face,
Fergeddaboud it, who needs sleep?
