Oh Mrs Emu she's so clever
She saw us as we were getting near
So she quickly hid her little chicks
As for there safety does she fear
Then she ran away flapping and dancing
As to lead us so far away
Hoping that we would follow her
And away from her chicks we'd stay
She pretended to be in trouble
So we would go and have a look
And then she ran away some more
Running right down near the brook
But we knew what she was doing
And we wished not to hurt her chicks
Mrs Emu how we do admire you
And your concern and for all your tricks
