In the Duckworth Chronicles is the story of Duckworth and the Singing Cicada, where Duckworth and Danielle meet a Cicada bug who not only likes to sing, but makes up his own songs. Here are a few more songs from Bob the Singing Cicada
A Bug on a Tree
 
Oh, take a look at me, I'm just a bug on a tree
and I sing the whole day long
I'm not so big and strong and my legs are not too long,
but I'm as cool as a glass of iced tea
Well some people think a bug is really small and snug
and doesn't really count at all,
but as long as I can sing, I can say one thing,
I feel like I'm six feet tall!
         Splash Like a Duck
 
Whenever I see a duck in the water
I say to myself that`s something I oughta
do
My feet don`t have flippers, I don`t even wear slippers,
But I`d really like to try something
new
 
Chorus:
So jump in the water and give out a quack
I`ll bet pretty soon you`ll be getting the knack
And splash like a duck
Yes, splash like a duck today
 
Oh, ducks have feathers and their feet are flat
And they quack and they squawk, and they never wear a hat
Are they crazy; are they noisy; are they silly? You bet!
And a duck doesn`t care if he gets a little wet
 
The Old Mossy Log
 
Up in the sky the clouds are puffy white
I might just stay on this log all night
The moss is green and soft on my feet
Just sittin` and scratchin` is really such a treat
 
Chorus:
Oh, I`m sitting on the old mossy log
Watching all the turtles, ducks, and frogs
I`m buzzing with my wings as I smile and start to sing
Just sittin` on the old mossy log
 
Yes, life is very good on this log made of wood
And a bug could do a lot worse
But I`ll have to move along, cause I`m running out of song
And I can`t think of another verse  
 
Frogs and Turtles and Geese and Bees
 
Frogs and turtles and geese and bees
They all look different, though they all have knees
Now frogs eat flies and turtles like peas
Which draws rude remarks from the geese and the bees.
 
Frogs and turtles are stuck on the ground
And must eat the things that are all around
But geese and bees, on the other hand
Can fly when they want, all across the land.
 
So whenever a turtle or frog you meet
Throw them some sandwich, just for a treat
Something different to eat is sure to please
The frogs, and turtles, and geese, and bees
