NONSENSE SONG

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

Submitter comment: THIS IS A NONSENSE SONG SUNG BY CHILDREN PURELY FOR THE
FUN OF IT, AND ITS ENTERTAINMENT VALUE.
