In the Circus
In the Circus the Monkey’s all went on strike
The Lemur had refused to ride the bike
The Meerkats had tickets that they couldn’t sell
The Snail had fallen and broken his shell
“But we all must go on” the Ringmaster said
Except for the Penguin who’s still ill in bed.
The Lion and The Zebra (Christopher Ronald Jones)
The Lion and the Zebra Were walking along
The Lion was singing his favourite song
The Zebra asked why he sang it so loud
The lion Replied “It’s because i am proud
My father is King of the Jungle you see
And that’s why i’m taking you home for tea.
Geoffrey the giraffe (Christopher Ronald Jones)
Geoffrey the long necked giraffe
Heard a story and started to laugh
He giggled and chuckled and giggled and smiled.
He couldn’t stop laughing, he laughed all the while
And this he found funny and you must agree.
A monkey was stuck at the top of a tree.
At the Zoo
First I saw the white bear, then I saw the black;
Then I saw the camel with a hump upon his back;
Then I saw the grey wolf, with mutton in his maw;
Then I saw the wombat waddle in the straw;
Then I saw the elephant a-waving of his trunk;
Then I saw the monkeys-mercy, how unpleasantly they-smelt!
Eletelphony (Laura Richards)
Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant-
No! No! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone-
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I’ve got it right.)
Howe’er it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk;
The more he tried to get it free,
The louder buzzed the telephee-
(I fear I’d better drop the song
Of elephop and telephong!)
Jumping monkey (Kaitlyn Guenther)
There once was a jumping monkey
And jumping he would always be
He fell off a cliff
Because he was stiff
Now jumping he will never be.
Wild Beasts (Evaleen Stein)
I will be a lion
And you shall be a bear,
And each of us will have a den
Beneath a nursery chair;
And you must growl and growl and growl,
And I will roar and roar,
And then–why, then–you’ll growl again,
And I will roar some more!
Five little monkeys
Five little monkeys jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head.
Mama called the Doctor and the Doctor said,
“No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
Four little monkeys jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped her head.
Papa called the Doctor and the Doctor said,
“No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
Three little monkeys jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head.
Mama called the Doctor and the Doctor said,
“No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
Two little monkeys jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped her head.
Papa called the Doctor and the Doctor said,
“No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
One little monkey jumping on the bed,
He fell off and bumped his head.
Mama called the Doctor and the Doctor said,
“Put those monkeys straight to bed!”
