Mr. Hiccups - The Squirrel with Hiccups!

This is a birthday present for my now 8 year old niece!! :)

Yes, once upon a time a squirrel really did show up on my patio, I gave him peanut butter because I couldn't find any nuts, and he ate it so fast he got the hiccups. And yes, I named him Mr. Hiccups after that. And he comes by every day! (I keep nuts on hand for him now.) :)

I apologize to everyone for having been absent so long. I will make a video soon telling you why! And I will also be sure to post a more "grown up" video soon. :) Thanks for all the support and for listening, I appreciate it so much!!! :)
Here are the words:

I was home alone, feeling a little bored
When there was suddenly a knock on my patio door
I looked through the glass, and what did I see
But a cute lil' squirrel staring right back at me

I opened the door and looked down at him
When I asked what you want he gave a pitiful grin
His eyes looked up, as he pointed at his gut
And said, Please, human, all I want is just a nut

A walnut, uuu, or even a brazil nut
Please, oh puh-lease, all I want is just a nut
A cashew nut, almond, pecan, or just a peanut
Please, nice human, all I want is just a nut

I said Please hold on, I'll see what I can find
Cuz my mom always told me you've got to be kind
He jumped up and down and flashed me a smile
And nodded when I told him I'd be back in a while

I rushed to the kitchen, opened the cupboard doors
Trying to sort through all the food I had stored
There was tuna, black olives, butter popcorn, and cheese
But peanut butter was the closest thing to a nut I could see

Peanut butter, oh peanut butter
I'm sorry Mr. Squirrel, all I've got is peanut butter
Peanut butter, oh, crunchy peanut butter
I'm sorry Mr. Squirrel, all I've got is peanut butter

I went back to tell him of my short supply
He said he'd give crunchy peanut butter a try
I set down his food and he began to dig in
He was messy, peanut butter got all over his chin

As I watched through the door, I started to crack up
Cuz he ate so fast he got the hiccups!
That's the story of how Mr. Hiccups got his name
As he finished his meal, I heard him exclaim:

Peanut butter, oh peanut butter
What do you know, I love the peanut butter
Peanut butter, oh, crunchy peanut butter
Uuu,eee!, I love the peanut butter
