(Tune: Cheerful, bouncy, and upbeat) (Verse 1) Deep inside the green, green wood, Lived little Barnaby where he could. A fluffy black coat, a stripe of white, A happy little smile and eyes so bright! He loved to play, he loved to jump, From mossy log to grassy stump. He’d wave his paws and say, “Hello!” …Then hold his tail and take it slow! (Pre-Chorus) Because when Barnaby comes near, The woodland friends back up with fear! “Hold your nose and turn around— The stinkiest fellow on the ground!” They kept their distance far away, And Barnaby had no one to play. (Chorus) Oh, sniff, sniff, snuffle, what a sweet smell! Who’s that hiding where the daisies dwell? Lavender, buttercups, rosebuds too, Pink and purple, yellow and blue! Down in the flower patch, rolling around, The sweetest little skunk in the whole wide town! (Verse 2) One sunny morning in the middle of spring, Barnaby heard the robins sing. He waddled to the garden where the blossoms grow, Where tulips and violets put on a show! He took a big dive in the petals so bright, Tickling his tummy with sheer delight! He rolled in the clovers, he rubbed on his snout, Covered head-to-toe inside and out! (Chorus) Oh, sniff, sniff, snuffle, what a sweet smell! Who’s that hiding where the daisies dwell? Lavender, buttercups, rosebuds too, Pink and purple, yellow and blue! Down in the flower patch, rolling around, The sweetest little skunk in the whole wide town! (Bridge) Little Bunny hopped up, wiggling his nose, “Is that sweet honey or a blooming rose?” The squirrels came down from the tall oak tree, The chipmunks chirped, “Hey, who could it be?” No stinky cloud! No need to run! Just Barnaby glowing in the morning sun, Wearing petals on his ears and petals on his feet, Smelling like lilac, sugary-sweet! (Chorus) Oh, sniff, sniff, snuffle, what a sweet smell! Who’s that hiding where the daisies dwell? Lavender, buttercups, rosebuds too, Pink and purple, yellow and blue! Down in the flower patch, rolling around, The sweetest little skunk in the whole wide town! (Outro) Now everybody jumps in! One, two, three! Tag with the bunny and the bumblebee! Giggle, giggle, laugh, and a hippity-hop, Playing in the petals and they never want to stop! “Hooray for Barnaby!” the woodland cried, With all of his best friends by his side! (Sniff, sniff... ahhh!)
