Animal Friends

Elephants and antelopes and kangaroos
Wallabies and penguins from the zoo
Snakes and squirrels and little brown bats
Acrobatic circus cats
Blue fish, red fish, galloping goats
Puffins and camels and piranhas in moats
Dinosaur babies and cows and pigs
And a horse is small as a dog is big

Chorus:
And I wish I really wish
I really really wish
They could be my pets
Oh please, pretty please
From the bottom of my heart to the top of my head
I’ll be good, really good
I’ll be really really good -- and you know I would
Feed ‘em all every day
And at night I’d tuck ‘em all in their beds
Ocelets and lots of sloths and fleas
A great horned owl and a chimpanzee
A gecko and a goose and a humpbacked whale
A Minnesota minnow and a South Dakota snail
A tiger that can hop on just one leg
Seventeen chipmunks doing a jig
An anteater parakeet dolphin frog
And a big is small as a horse is dog
Chorus
To sleep, we’ll sleep, all my animal friends and me
And we’ll dream, oh we’ll dream
Of all the things we’ll do tomorrow
Jumping and bouncing and climbing in trees
Swimming to the bottom of the deep blue sea
Tunnel with the ants buzz with a bee
Ride a unicorn unicycle up in a tree
And if you say “NO” to that
How ‘bout maybe a dog or a cat?
Chorus
Me and my animal friends
