Can you tell us what's inside the egg?
Tell us what it is
Mrs. Goldfinch, what's inside the egg?
You are such a whiz!

Please don't ask me, I can't even guess
Hey, don't drop it! There'll be such a mess!
When we found it, we were so impressed

And we wonder what's inside it
We can't see you, who's inside it?

Look around you, tell me what you see:
Miles and miles of books!
Somewhere there we'rе sure to find the key
Wе're no pile of schnooks!

It's so gorgeous, really quite a catch
And I wonder when it's gonna hatch
Maybe this time, Cody's met his match

And we wonder what's inside it
We can't see you, who's inside it?

It's so pretty with its colored ring
I just hope it doesn't have a sting
What if it's a horrid reptile thing?
And we wonder what's inside it
We can't see you, who's inside it?

Maybe it's a baby chimpanzee. (Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-Ooh!)
Maybe it's a dinosaur like me!
Maybe it's a fluffy little duck
So far, we aren't having and luck. (Ohh.)

Maybe it's a cousin of E.T.'s
A tiny hummingbird!
Cody, you are such a silly tease
This is quite absurd

We are searching every single page
Maybe we should put it in a cage
Maybe that might put it in a rage

And we wonder what's inside it
We can't see you, who's inside it?

Don't you think that this is lots of fun?
Dreams are fancy-free!
And I feel the fun has just begun
Just you wait and see

There's nothing here that we can find
One more book and I'm going blind
But it seems that we don't really mind
And we wonder what's inside it
We can't see you, who's inside it?

Let's make sure we don't run out of steam
We must stick together as a team!
Then we know we're sure to find our dream

And we wonder what's inside it
We can't see you, who's inside it?
