Andrew the squirrel, Andrew the squirrel
Andrew the squirrel is a friend of mine
He lives in a tree with his family
He's busy as a bee come acorn time

He came through the bushes into my backyard
Hungry, lost, and alone
Got separated from his family
Last night in a storm

Andrew the squirrel, Andrew the squirrel
Andrew the squirrel is a friend of mine
He lives in a tree with his family
He's busy as a bee come acorn time

La la la la, la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la la la la la la

Big black eyes shinin' oh-so-bright
And a fluffy tail stickin' up
He looks for his mom and his dad and sis
He misses them so much

Andrew the squirrel, Andrew the squirrel
Andrew the squirrel is a friend of mine
He lives in a tree with his family
He's busy as a bee come acorn time

Andrew the squirrel, Andrew the squirrel
Andrew the squirrel is a friend of mine
He lives in a tree with his family
He's busy as a bee come acorn time
Come acorn time
Come acorn time
