The Zoo Was
Having a Party

The zoo was having a party
The zoo was having a party
A special birthday party
For each animal there
They invited me to the party
Their special birthday party
I wanted to get a present
For each animal there

What do you get for an armadillo
You better get him a feather pillow
What do you get for a hippopotamus
Well you better get him a lotamus
What do you get for a snake
Well get him a birthday cake
And what do you get for an elephant
Something really swellephant
Something he can smellephant
A bowl full of jellophant
That would be fine
That would be fine

What do you get for a panda
Get him a chair for his veranda
And what do you get for a giraffe
Get him a watermelon cut in half
And what do you get for a whale
Well get him a surfboard and a sail
And what do you get for a monkey
A pet skunkie
Something kinda funkie
A red plastic trunk key
An outfit that is punkie
That would be fine
That would be fine

What do you get for a bear
A bowl of oatmeal and a chair
And what do you get for a flamingo
Get her a game like Bingo
What do you get for a gazelle
Better get him something really swell
What do you get for a baboon
Oh just sing him his favourite tune
What do you get for a gorilla
His favourite ice cream vanilla
His favourite movie Godzilla
Well anything that gives him a thrilla
That would be fine
That would be fine
