You ran from an alligator
Feed fish to a whale
Patted a dolphin
Threw dust in jail.
You're not as great as I am.
You stood on a rock
Climbed up a tree
Swatted at a fly
Ran from a bee.
You're not as great as I am.
You stepped on an ant
Ate an apple seed
Broke teeth out of a comb
Pulled up a weed.
You're not as great as I am.
You ate frog legs
And a lobster tail
Killed a cockroach
Made a toy boat sail.
You're not as great as I am.
