Soggy leaves on the ground today
Yesterday he flew
Soggy's always full of surprises
And there's nothing he won't do

Soggy leaves after we play
We always have such fun
Soggy likes to chase me
But never in the sun

Soggy leaves when I am tired
But stays until I sleep
Soggy and I make jokes together
His laugh is low and deep

Soggy leaves a wet trail behind
Everywhere he goes
Soggy gurgles words to me
Words only I know

Soggy leaves when he gets mad
It happens now and then
But Soggy never hurts me
He is my only friend

Soggy leaves when I am safe
He keeps me free from harm
Soggy got rid of the dog
Who bit me in the arm

Soggy leaves when mommy comes
We don't like her much
Soggy sneaks up behind her
She falls down at his touch

Soggy leaves them cold and scared
Those people that I hate
Soggy leaves to play with them
And plays until they break

Soggy leaves an awful smell
Like rain and sweat and blood
Soggy has a lot of eyes
And loose skin the color of mud

Soggy leaves me less and less
I beg him to stay
Soggy would do anything for me
Takes the bad people away

Soggy leaves on the ground no more
It's like a dream come true
Now Soggy's with me all the time
Why can't you see him too?

I imagine a little girl's voice singing this with a slow tempo.
