Hawkins Hollow Kids Songs
Tiptoe Muddy Boots Chorus 054
Song promise: Austin and Callen split one muddy-boot cleanup so each can do a useful part without taking over.
The part everyone joins: “Pick one part; help it along.”
Lyrics
Austin hears the acorns clicking.
Callen sees one muddy boot.
Austin asks, “What part needs doing?”
Callen says, “Let’s check the route.”
Pick one part; help it along.
Brush or wipe, or hum the song.
Ask what helps, then choose one job.
Leave the next part for someone else.
At the little bridge, they notice
one dry brush beside the rail.
Callen brushes off the loose dirt.
Austin holds the boot pail.
Pick one part; help it along.
Brush or wipe, or hum the song.
Ask what helps, then choose one job.
Leave the next part for someone else.
Dappled shadows dance like bootprints.
Acorn taps pretend to stomp.
Make-believe mud dots tiptoe past them
while the breeze moves through the grass.
At the painted gate, Austin
holds one boot above the mat.
Callen wipes the sole with one damp cloth.
Both say, “That is one part done.”
Pick one part; help it along.
Brush or wipe, or hum the song.
Ask what helps, then choose one job.
Leave the next part for someone else.
Helping Tag
Choose one part that fits your hands.
Ask for help or trade the task.
One may brush and one may steady.
Sharing starts when helpers ask.
