I feel sure there would have been more verses but I can find no trace online. Any ideas? "A wondrous sound of reverie awoke the zoo one night. The keeper cried: "By jingo, they've begun another fight." But soon they heard the fife and drum. The noise was great but grand And everybody cried: "Here comes the animals' ragtime band. chorus The elephant played the trumpet. The rhinoceros beat the drum. The kangaroo conducted them though he was deaf and dumb. The crocodile played the clarinet though he never would learn his scales And they played "God bless the weasel" and "Pop goes the Prince of Wales" All information welcome |

If it's a small IP company the site owner may not be supporting all of its pages (this happens if they sell out or the owner dies, etc.) Dropping the URL into Internet Archive's the Wayback Machine lets me take a look at it. https://web.archive.org/web/20210121045932/http://www.robdempster.com/blogs/pmb/blog060.html The main page shows up but the Wayback Machine never "crawled" the rest of the site (I didn't try every link, but none that I tried work.) But this might give you enough information to continue your search elsewhere. |

But if I copy and paste it into my browser it automatically adds the "s" to http. We've come a long way from when using https was a novelty. |
