I was standing alone
Minding my business
When a mischievous beaver
Took a bite out of me, oh yes!
Just look at what he did to me
He wanted to use me in his dam
But I fooled him, I still stand
Where did he go? On the lam?
Maybe if he will not come back
Could I recover from his gnawing?
Unless a big strong wind blows
Then I might just be falling.
