Thread Name: Lyr Req: Giraffe is Laughing / Laughing Giraffe
Subject: song 'The giraffe is Laughing'
My name is David Duffy, and I live in Kitchener, Canada. For many years, I have been entertaining Day-care-aged children with my songs. I have been searching for the words to a particular song called "The Giraffe is Laughing", the instrumental version of which was always played at the end of the earliest episodes of the SCTV television show.

I have searched libraries and lyric sites all over the Internet trying to find the lyrics to this song. I heard it on an old 45 record when I was about 3 or 4 (roughly 36 years ago), but I've long since lost the record and I don't recall the name of the band who played the song, but it was played in polka style.

The first lines of the song are "Do do do do do you know what happened at the zoo? What happened at the zoo? What happened at the zoo?"

I hope that someone out there knows the rest of the lyrics.
