Doylestown Squirrel Love Song

DOYLESTOWN SQUIRREL LOVE SONG When Bushy Tail met Flashing Eyes up on poplar limb he fell in love with her at once the only love for him! And so he asked a friend of her who told poor Bushy Tail that Flashing Eyes would wed the Prince it made his poor heart fail! But Bushy saw deep in her eyes one summer morning bright there was real love, and just for him, a love both strong and right they fell so much more into love but couldn't comprehend why they could not together be and Prince be just a friend. They pled their love before the Prince who laughed at them and said I'll have the fairest in the trees so get that in your head. And then the Prince put out the law they could not be in love nor be together one more time like they were dreaming of. And Flashing Eyes cried all the time while Bushy hurt each day, their love grew stronger though apart could love not find a way? The leaves of summer turned to red as autumn came around and in the breezes drifted to be carpet on the ground. The day to wed was growing near and hope was getting dim when destiny came in to play up on a poplar limb. The Prince proclaimed he was the king and Flashing Eyes would be forever Queen and at his side the top of royalty. And then he boasted of his charm his right and noble fame when all at once he fell down to a forest hunters aim. Up in the trees where no one sees real love is living there for Bushy Tail and Flashing Eyes and love is everywhere.
