Animal Crackers in My Soup

When my mother used to cook us soup
My appetite would always droop
Split pea, vegetable, or consommé
Used to ruin my entire day
Then one supper-time when I was three
I made a big discovery

Animal crackers in my soup
Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop
Gosh, oh gee, but I have fun
Swallowing animals one by one

In every bowl of soup I see
Lions and Tigers watching me
I make 'em jump right through a hoop
Those animal crackers in my soup

When I get hold of the big bad wolf
I just push him under to drown
Then I bite him in a million bits
And I gobble him right down

When they'rе inside me wherе it's dark
I walk around like Noah's Arc
I stuff my tummy like a goop
With animal crackers in my soup

Animal crackers in my soup
Do funny things to me
They make me think my neighborhood
Is a big menagerie

For instance, there's our Janitor
His name is Mr Klein
And when he Hollers at us kids
He reminds me of a Lion

The Grocer is so big and fat
He has a big mustache
He looks just like a Walrus
Just before he takes a splash

The postman is so tall and thin
He makes the neighbors laugh
And when he brings a package
He resembles a giraffe

Animal crackers in my soup
Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop
Gosh, oh gee, but I have fun
Swallowing animals one by one

In every bowl of soup I see
Lions and Tigers watching me
I make 'em jump right through a hoop
Those animal crackers in my soup

When I get hold of the big bad wolf
I just push him under to drown
Then I bite him in a million bits
And I gobble him right down

When they're inside me where it's dark
I walk around like Noah's Arc
I stuff my tummy like a goop
With animal crackers in my soup

Animal crackers in my soup!
