That cricket's keeping his feet warm
He's been rubbing them all night long
keeping time with these songs of mine
It's after midnight and he's still going strong

He's got perfect pitch
I think he's down in a ditch
The acoustics are blowing me away
I stop and he goes solo
Man, that critter can play

That cricket's keeping his feet warm
He's been rubbing them all night long
Yeah that cricket's keeping his feet warm
He warms them in a song

He's a friend of mine so be careful where you step
If you step on him I'll be extremely upset
Let's play another my little friend and after that we'll do it again

He's a consummate pro
He never says no
He'll play until the cows come home
It's a cool little sound that this cricket lays down
Come on now cricket, take me home

Yeah, that cricket's been keeping his feet warm
He's been rubbing them all night long
Keeping time as I lay down my rhymes
He helps me song with my songs

When the sun comes up he goes off on his way
We never play in the light of day
but when the sun goes down and that moon appears
warming his feet is music to my ears

That cricket's keeping his feet warm
He's been rubbing them all night long
Keeping time with these songs of mine
He's always handy with a song
