" THE ANIMAL FAIR "

I WENT TO THE ANIMAL FAIR,
THE BIRDS AND THE BEES WERE THERE.
THE OLD BABOON, BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON,
WAS COMBING HIS AUBURN HAIR.
THE MONKEY, HE GOT DRUNK.
HE SAT ON THE ELEPHANT'S TRUNK.
THE ELEPHANT SNEEZED AND FELL ON HIS KNEES,
AND THAT WAS THE END OF THE MONK, THE MONK,
THE MONK, THE MONK.
( REPEAT )
