------------------------
这是一首状态描摹的歌曲，用各种各样的比喻来比方I的情况。这里用到的最重要的结构当然就是as ... as，中间加一个形容词的原级形式，as quiet as a mouse是一个习惯用语，其他各节的类似结构都是仿照这个习惯用语而造。
在这个主要结构以外，这首歌还运用了listen to me、look at me、won't you play with me、you can't catch me、you'd better run away等过渡句，从前往后正好形成了一个完整的动作系列，最后乖乖跑走。
当然，在一系列的比拟中，介绍的各种动物也是这首儿歌的认知目标之一：像是mouse、elephant、giraffe、kitten、cheetah、skunk，都是孩子今后需要逐步去了解的动物。
最后，各种动物的声音，这首歌曲也都用了象声词来加以描摹，尤其是最后的pew pew pew，跟孩子学一学，娃娃会特别开心的。
