This song is available on Dr. Thomas Moore's "Sing a Song of Colors"

Once I saw a small black bug;
He was too fast to catch.
I said, ―Hello there,
Small Black Bug, and
He said, ―Scritchy-scratch.

Once I saw a long black snake;
He moved around like this.
I said, ―Hello there,
Long Black Snake and
He said, ―Hiss, hiss, hiss.

Once I saw a big black bird;
He had enormous feet.
I said, ―Hello there,
Big Black Bird, and
He said, ―Tweet, tweet, tweet.

Once I saw a sleek black cat;
He had the softest fur.
I said, ―Hello there,
Sleek black cat, and
He said, ―Purr, purr, purr.

Once I saw a nice black dog
When I was at the part.
I said, ―Hello there,
Nice Black Dog, and
He said, ―Bark, bark, bark.

Once I saw a fierce black bear;
I was so scared, I howled!
I said, ―Hello there
Fierce Black Bear, but
He just growled and growled!
