THE ANIMAL FAIR I went to the animal fair The birds and the beasts were there The big baboon, by the light of the moon Was combing his auburn hair The monkey he got drunk And sat on the elephant's trunk. The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees But what become of the monk? (extra verses) The kangaroo was dressed In an elegant velvet vest. The horse and pig were dancing a jig To the tune they loved the best. The seal began to croon. While juggling pink balloons. The kangaroo had nothing to do But rattle the silver spoons, the spoons, The spoons, the spoons, But rattle the silver spoons. The lion made a bow, And tried to kiss the cow. The cow refused with several moos, Which made the lion howl. The parrots in the trees. Were watching the chimpanzees. The chimps were shy and covered their eyes, And swung on the high trapeze, with ease, With ease, with ease, And swung on the high trapeze. @animal filename[ ANIMFAIR TUNE FILE: ANIMFAIR CLICK TO PLAY RG |
