At The Zoo
There are lions and roaring tigers
and enormous camels and things
there are biffalo buffalo bisons
and a great big bear with wings
there's a tiny sort of a potamus
and a tiny nocerus too
but I gave buns to the elephant
when I went down to the zoo.
At the zoo
There are badgers and bidgers and bodgers
and a superintendant's house
there are masses of goats and a polar
and different kinds of mouse
and I think there's a sort of a something
which is called a wallaboo
but I gave buns to the elephant
when I went down to the zoo.
At the zoo
If you try to talk to the bison
he never quite understands
you can't shake hands with a mingo
he doesn't like shaking hands
and the lions and the roaring tigers
hate saying how do you do
but I give buns to the elephant
when I go down to the zoo
At the zoo
