Story Behind The Song
My friend called me not long ago and told me about a cricket she found in her bathroom and didn't know what to do?? She lives on the fifth floor of a building and thought the presence of a cricket up this many stories was quite unusual!! Anyway....my wife and I thought that this was a possible song and wahla....... "Once Upon A Cricket" was born!! Haaaa!!!

Lyrics
Once Upon A Cricket
Marg Sampson, Original Idea

1st Verse
I came upon a cricket one day
All he wanted to do was play
Next thing I knew, he was on his back
But, didn't have the heart to give him a wack
Oooooo...... Little cricket
2nd Verse
Now, can I let you go, just set you free
Your tiny little eyes, keep lookin' at me
I don't wish you harm, at least not today
If you turn over, will you just go away?
Oooooo Little cricket go away........
Oooooo Little cricket go away........
Chorus
Little cricket how high can you jump?
You land on your feet, or land with a thump??
Little frogs jump and little kids too
So, why am I so afraid....you?
3rd Verse
Little kids are braver than me
They watch Cricket cartoons on T.V.
Now, little kids what would you do?
If you had a cricket runnin' after you.......
Talking.........
Tell me little kids if you were me
Would you lock him in the bathroom or set him free
Should I leave that bug there and close the door?
Or let him run freely on my bedroom floor.......
Repeat 1st Verse
You sound like an army, but you're only one?... Oh my gosh, what should be done?
