THE ANIMAL SHOW

Father and mother and Bobbie will go

To see all the sights at the animal show.

Where lions and bears

Sit on dining room chairs,

Where a camel is able

To stand on a table,

Where monkeys and seals

All travel on wheels,

And a Zulu baboon

Rides a baby balloon.

The sooner you're ready, the sooner we'll go.

Aboard, all aboard, for the Animal Show!
