Hey, bug!
Hey! Bug, stay!
Don’t run away,
I know a game that we can play.
I’ll hold my fingers very still
And you can climb a finger-hill.
No, no,
Don’t go.
Here’s a wall-a tower, too,
A tiny bug town, just for you.
I’ve a cookie. You have some.
Take this oatmeal cookie crumb.
Hey, bug, stay!
Hey, bug!
