African Treehouse - Little Shepherd Lyrics

On a hot, dry, African day
The little shepherd boy sits in the shade
Of a big, big, baobab tree
Of a big, big, baobab tree
His twenty sheep are grazing all around
And sleepily he starts to count
On a hot, dry, African day
On a hot, dry, African day
He only counts fourteen, six are gone
He starts to call their names, one by one

Look there's a tail sticking out from behind that bush
It's sheep number fifteen, he's stuck, we'll have to push

On a hot, dry, African day
The little shepherd boy sits in the shade
Of a big, big, baobab tree
Of a big, big, baobab tree
Behind a tree, where can they be
Upon a hill, down by the mill
Oh where, can, the other sheep be
Oh where, can, the other sheep be
Look there's another two standing on that rock
Let's help them down and lead them to the flock
Look there's one drinking from the dam
Let's go down and fetch, the little lamb

On a hot, dry, African day
The little shepherd boy sits in the shade
Of a big, big, baobab tree
Of a big, big, baobab tree
He has eighteen now, two more to go
He has to search, high and low
Oh where, can, the other sheep be
Oh where, can, the other sheep be

Look there's something behind the waterfall
Yay! it's the last two (Now we have them all)
His twenty sheep are grazing all around
They're happy now, safe and sound
On a hot, dry, African day
On a hot, dry, African day
On a hot, dry, African day
On a hot, dry, African day
