About this recording

PETER PATTER told them to me,

All the little rimes,

Whispered them among the bushes

Half a hundred times.

Peter lives upon a mountain

Pretty near the sun,

Knows the bears and birds and rabbits

Nearly every one;

Has a home among the alders,

Bed of cedar bark,

Walks alone beneath the pine trees

Even when it’s dark.

Squirrels tell him everything

That happens in the trees,

Cricket in the gander-grass

Sings of all he sees;

Rimes from bats and butterflies,

Crabs and waterfowl;

But the best of all he gets

From his Uncle Owl.

Sometimes when its day-time,

But mostly in the night,

They sit beneath an oak tree

And hug each other tight,

And tell their rimes and riddles

Funny little Peter Patter

And his Uncle Owl.
