🎵 The Clever Crow – Song Lyrics 🎵
(Soft marimba and ukulele, medium-slow pace, 85–90 BPM)

Verse 1
One hot summer day, so high,
A thirsty crow flew through the sky.
The sun was strong, the air was dry,
No water found, no matter why.

Verse 2
All day long he searched around,
No pond, no stream, no puddle found.

Verse 3
Just as he gave up his quest,
A shiny thing sparked interest.
Down he flew, with wings spread wide,
A tall clay pitcher by his side.

Verse 4
He peeked inside with shining eye,
And saw some water, low and shy.
He stretched his neck to take a sip,
But it was far beyond his lip.

Verse 5
No matter how he reached or tried,
The water stayed so deep inside.

Verse 6
He walked around and thought a bit,
Then saw small stones where he could sit.
A clever thought came to his head,
He picked a pebble up instead.

Verse 7
One by one, the stones went in,
And slowly rose the water thin.
Another rock, another drop,
He did not rest, he did not stop.

Verse 8
The water climbed up bit by bit,
Until the crow could drink from it!
He bent his beak and took a sip,
The cool, fresh water touched his lip.

Verse 9
Refreshed and full, he flapped with cheer,
And flew back up into the clear.

Final Verse (Ending)
When you stay calm and use your brain,
You’ll find your way through any strain.
