The Little Brown Owl Sits Up in the Tree

The Little Brown Owl Sits Up in the Tree - Mama Lisa's House of English Nursery Rhymes, Intro Image


The little brown owl sits up in the tree,
And if you look well his big eyes you may see.
He says Whit-a-whoo when the night grows dark,
And he hears the dog howl and the little fox bark.
