I Love My Echidna

I love my echidna,
Mmmm I love my echidna.
No one else has got a pet like mine.
He’s prickly and small,
He won’t chase a ball,
But me and my echidna get on fine.
Dogs and cats and birds are fun,
But they’re not right for everyone,
And an elephant’s too big to keep at home.
Though occasionally he spikes me,
Deep down I know he likes me,
It’s fun to have an echidna of your own
Edna the Echidna
Edna the Echidna is a sweet song by Margaret Bradford about the iconic Australian animal, the echidna. A great song for children to sing along to and learn about echidnas.
Edna, the echidna
What a brave little mum is she
Edna, the echidna
In her pouch there’s a baby, see
Her flickering tounge glisten in the sun
catching ants for her dinner and tea
Edna, the echidna
What a prickly pet she’d be
Edna, the echidna
Sniffing smoke with her sensitive nose
Edna, the echidna
Danger lurks where the hot wind blows
With flames leaping past her
Edna’s digging faster
She’ll be safe underground
She knows
Edna, the echidna
Danger lurks where the hot wind blows
Edna, the echidna
Edna, the echidna
What a brave little mum is she
Edna, the echidna
In her pouch there’s a baby, see
Her flickering tounge glisten in the sun
catching ants for her dinner and tea
Edna, the echidna
What a prickly pet she’d be
Edna, the echidna
What a prickly pet she’d be
