Fetchet  was a cricket who rubbed his legs together
About the time the sun shined bright with the promise of good weather
Theo the muscles had a down word look all through the  cold of winter
Old Fetchet had to hobble out and rub them skinny legs together

Long  and hard he rubbed and rubbed with them skinny stings he called legs
Just an old  brown ugly bug put on this earth to sing

A rub, a rub , jitters here, a jitters here and there

He polished them there legs
from his toes up to his underwear
Now a song could be herd, through the crisp light spring moon air
With a sound so  full it made it feel like Fetchet was everywhere!!
Yeah Fetchet was a cricket, an old ugly bug was he
Yet his song that spring was a coming,
made his music a symphony!
