In the hush of the midnight hour where shadows softly creep
A tiny troubadour stirs no promises to keep
With legs like tiny banjos tuned to the moon's soft glow
He strikes up his fiddle lettin' the wild notes flow
Through the velvet black his melody takes flight
A lone voice in the silence chasin' away the night
Oh cricket crickin' chirpin' up a storm!
Breakin' through the dark in perfect cricket form
Your song's a thunder rumble a fireworks display
Lightin' up the quiet with your fiddlin' hooray!
Chirp-chirp holler louder let the echoes ring
You're the king of the crickets wearin' summer's wing!
The stars lean in to listen the fireflies join the fray
Dancin' to your rhythm on this warm and sticky day
No spotlight no encore just the grass as your stage
You belt out your ballad turnin' the page
From the roots to the treetops your vibe cuts so deep
Wakin' sleepy old dogs from their nocturnal sleep
Oh cricket crickin' chirpin' up a storm!
Breakin' through the dark in perfect cricket form
Your song's a thunder rumble a fireworks display
Lightin' up the quiet with your fiddlin' hooray!
Chirp chirp holler louder let the echoes ring
You're the king of the crickets wearin' summer's wing!
When the world's feelin' heavy and the darkness won't yield
Your tiny rebellion's the shield that we wield
No words in your chorus just pure raw delight
Remindin' us all that the night's full of light
So here's to the cricket small but mighty and bold
Turnin' whispers to roars in the stories untold
Chirp on through the shadows keep the fire alive
In your perfect form yeah you help us survive
Chirp-chirp.. chirp-chirp.. up a storm..
