Jetty Rae - Animal Fair Lyrics

Dee da dum, da, da ,dee da da dum
The animal fair, fair, fair, fair, fair

I went to the animal fair
The birds and the beasts were there
The big baboon by the light of the moon
Was combing his auburn hair
The monkey bumped the skunk
Who 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

Dee da dum, da, da ,dee da da dum
The animal fair, fair, fair, fair, fair

Oh I went to the animal fair
I saw wild tigers there
The tall giraffe who loved to laugh
Was wearing blue underwear
The zebra caught a cough
From the hyenas trough
The zebra sneezed and fell on his knees
And blew all his stripes off, off, off, off, off

Dee da dum, da, da ,dee da da dum
The animal fair, fair, fair, fair, fair

I went to the animal fair
The hippos and pandas were there
The red little fox who was wearing two socks
Was eating a dish so rare
The flamingos had to flutter
When they heard the snakes st-stutter
The flamingos said please as they fell on their knees
They said go bother another, another, another, another, another

Dee da dum, da, da ,dee da da dum
The animal fair, fair, fair, fair, fair

If you go to the animal fair
Child be kind and beware
Or the beasts and the birds will spread the word
To follow you everywhere
For when you are safe at home
You'll hear a wild moan
Look under your bed and see what I said
The animals followed you home, home, home, home, home

Dee da dum, da, da ,dee da da dum
The animal fair, fair, fair, fair, fair
