I Lost My Friend
I lost my friend, so smallI lost my friend
In a forest of shrub oaks, so small
In a forest of shrub oaks
So small, so small, so small…
[Chorus:]
Oh, what will I do
I’m nothing but a scatterbrain
I always lose what’s mine
I’m just a nitwit.
I lost my shoe, so flimsy
I lost my shoe
At the top of an apple tree, so flimsy
At the top of an apple tree
So flimsy, so flimsy, so flimsy
[Chorus]
I lost my suckling pig, so small
I lost my suckling pig
In the stomach of a dragon, so small
In the stomach of a dragon
So small, so small, so small
[Chorus]
I lost my bird, so easily1
Up there in the sky, so easily
Up there in the sky
So easily, so easily, so easily
[Chorus]
I lost my mammoth, gobble-gut
I lost my mammoth
On a soccer field, gobble-gut
On a soccer field
Gobble-gut, gobble-gut, gobble-gut
[Chorus]
I lost my cardboard box, all brown
I lost my cardboard box
At the bottom of my bag, all brown
At the bottom of my bag
All brown, all brown, all brown
[Chorus]
