       [Verse] 
       
      Down in the brush where the shadows crawl 
       
      Lives Eric the Echidna just beneath it all 
       
      With a spiny coat and a nose so keen 
       
      The quirkiest critter you've ever seen 
       
      [Verse 2] 
       
      Small but mighty with powerful claws 
       
      He digs through the earth without a pause 
       
      Hunting for ants in the twilight's haze 
       
      A natural wonder in so many ways 
       
      [Chorus] 
       
      Eric the Echidna digs right through 
       
      Chasing the ants in the morning dew 
       
      With puggles at play and a heart so bold 
       
      Eric’s a treasure made of stories untold 
       
      [Verse 3] 
       
      The termites scatter and the earth takes note 
       
      Where Eric travels it’s a hidden moat 
       
      His limbs are strong and his spirit’s free 
       
      In nature’s rhythm he holds the key 
       
      [Bridge] 
       
      Underneath the star-strewn skies 
       
      Silent and clever he claims his prize 
       
      A living marvel in a dusty domain 
       
      Eric the Echidna will always remain 
       
      [Chorus] 
       
      Eric the Echidna digs right through 
       
      Chasing the ants in the morning dew 
       
      With puggles at play and a heart so bold 
       
      Eric’s a treasure made of stories untold    |
