They Grow 'Em Big in Oregon

 

I’m just a little baby snail
One end’s my head, one end’s my tail
I ate some juicy leaves last tonight
In Helen’s garden by moonlight

I really like to eat those greens
I love that lettuce and those beans
I’ll eat and eat, and grow and grow
Then I’ll become an “Escargot”

I must hide out before its dawn
If I get caught, I’ll get stepped on
And chances are just one to seven
I may wind up in that snail heaven.
