|
The tiny ant leaves his tiny ant drops in the sand, |
|
And makes his home inside a rusty watering can, |
|
Occasionally going out to look for bread and jam. |
|
He runs into a sparrow who hasn't eaten for a week, |
|
And later, quite contented, the sparrow cleans his beak, |
|
Failing to notice pussy cat has come out to take a leak. |
|
Our cat partakes of dinner when a sodden kangaroo |
|
Emerges from the undergrowth and asks to use the loo. |
|
Kangaroos aren't usually dangerous, for that would never do. |
|
My goodness, will you look at all the animals queuing on the stairs! |
|
Look at the animals in the zoo; how would you like to be one? |
|
They're waiting to use the lavatory and putting chewing gum in each |
|
Other's hair. |
|
Look at the animals, look at you; well how would you like to free one? |
|
Good gracious, will you look at all the animals playing with their tools! |
|
Look at the animals, look at you; well how would you like to queer one? |
|
Flying from the chandeliers and treading in their elephantine stools. |
|
Look at the animals, two by two; aren't you glad to be one? |
|
This kangaroo's a lunatic and his pouch is very full |
|
Of pussy cats and penguins who can't fly as a rule, |
|
But then neither could the pussy cat: he never went to school. |
|
The kangaroo gets nervous when confronted by the size |
|
Of an elephant named simon who is always telling lies; |
|
He swears he wears green corduroys and can button up his fly. |
|
Presently, a fatter simon's indigestion fails. |
|
He regurgitates the whole damn mess into an aluminum pail, |
|
And the tiny ant scuttles back inside his watering can |
|
Occasionally going out to look for bread and jam. |
