DOWN THE FARMYARD WHERE I LIKE TO GO
AND ALL THE ANIMALS DON’T SEEM TO KNOW
WHAT SORT OF NOISES THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO MAKE
IT’S ALL CONFUSING I HAVE TO SAY
WELL THE COWS GO “NEIGH”
THE HORSES “MOO”
THE PIGS ARE CLUCKING I SWEAR IT’S TRUE
BUT THERE IS ONE ANIMAL I LIKE TO SEE
IT’S HONK THE CHICKEN AND HE LIKES ME
THEY CALL HIM HONK HE’S HONK THE CHICKEN
WHEN HE WAS AN EGG HIS MOTHER LOST HIM
SO A KINDLY GOOSE MUM SHE DID ADOPT HIM
INSTEAD OF “CLUCK” NOW IT’S GOOSE HE’S THINKING
WHEN HE MAKES A NOISE HE SOUNDS LIKE A GOSLING
ALL THE ANIMALS THOUGHT “WHAT A GOOD IDEA!”
SO THEY ALL CHANGED VOICES SO IT DOES APPEAR
NOW THE GEESE ARE OINKING THE DOG MEOWING
THE FARMER SMILES AND HIS WIFE IS LAUGHING

DEEP IN THE JUNGLE WHERE YOU HEAR THE MONKEYS CALL
THE ELEPHANTS DO TRUMPET THE BIRDS THEY DO SQUAWK
SLINKS A CAT WITH A MANE AND SOME LONG SHARP TEETH
AND A ROAR THAT WOULD WAKE YOU FROM A DEEP DEEP SLEEP
AND WHAT WOULD YOU SHOUT IF YOU CAME ACROSS THIS BEAST?
“OH MY GOODNESS! IT’S A LION!
IT’S A LION [ THE KING OF THE JUNGLE]
IT’S A LION [ THE CAT WITH NO EQUAL]
IT’S A FRIGHTENING THING WHEN YOU COME ACROSS A LION IN THE JUNGLE
HE’S BIG AND HE’S GREY AND HE EATS WITH HIS TRUNK
AND IF YOU SAW HIM AT THE ZOO HE’D BE EATING PEANUTS
HE TRUMPETS AND HE STAMPS AND HE’S REALLY REALLY STRONG
BUT THERE’S NO NEED TO BE SCARED UNLESS A MOUSE COMES ALONG
AND WHAT WOULD YOU SHOUT IF YOU CAME ACROSS THIS BEAST?
“OH MY GOODNESS! IT’S AN ELEPHANT!’
IT’S AN ELEPHANT [HE’S BIG AS A HOUSE]
IT’S AN ELEPHANT [ BUT HE’S SCARED OF A LITTLE MOUSE]
IT’S A REALLY BIG DEAL WHEN YOU COME ACROSS AN ELEPHANT IN THE JUNGLE
SWINGING THROUGH THE TREETOPS WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE
LIKE TARZAN IN THE JUNGLE FROM TREE TO TREE
I SEE SOMEONE STARING HE’S LOOKING AT ME
A BEAST WITH A TAIL GOING OOH! OOH! EE! EE!
AND WHAT WOULD YOU SHOUT IF YOU CAME ACROSS THIS BEAST?
“OH MY GOODNESS! IT’S A MONKEY!”
IT’S A MONKEY [ HE’S EATING A BANANA]
IT’S A MONKEY [ BIG YELLOW AND YUMMY]
IT’S A FUNNY THING WHEN YOU COME ACROSS A MONKEY IN THE JUNGLE
IT’S A LION
IT’S AN ELEPHANT
IT’S A MONKEY

TRIANTIWONTIGONGOLOPE
03:13
|
|||
|
There's a very funny insect that you do not often spy,
And it isn't quite a spider, and it isn't quite a fly;
It is something like a beetle, and a little like a bee,
But nothing like a wooly grub that climbs upon a tree.
Its name is quite a hard one, but you'll learn it soon, I hope.
So try:
Tri-
Tri-anti-wonti-
Triantiwontigongolope.
It lives on weeds and wattle-gum, and has a funny face;
Its appetite is hearty, and its manners a disgrace.
When first you come upon it, it will give you quite a scare,
But when you look for it again, you find it isn't there.
And unless you call it softly it will stay away and mope.
So try:
Tri-
Tri-anti-wonti-
Triantiwontigongolope.
It trembles if you tickle it or tread upon its toes;
It is not an early riser, but it has a snubbish nose.
If you snear at it, or scold it, it will scuttle off in shame,
But it purrs and purrs quite proudly if you call it by its name,
And offer it some sandwiches of sealing-wax and soap.
So try:
Tri-
Tri-anti-wonti-
Triantiwontigongolope .
But of course you haven't seen it; and I truthfully confess
That I haven't seen it either, and I don't know its address.
For there isn't such an insect, though there really might have been
If the trees and grass were purple, and the sky was bottle green.
It's just a little joke of mine, which you'll forgive, I hope.
Oh, try!
Tri-
Tri-anti-wonti-
Triantiwontigongolope.

CHLOE'S FRIGHT
03:53
|
|||
|
Chloe was scared of the dark and the night
And the strange things you see when you turn off the light.
The monsters, the creatures, the shadows that creep
kept Chloe awake when she wanted to sleep.
One night her Mummy, (who didn’t get frights)
Explained that the night-time was really alright
And the monsters and creatures would all disappear
If she went straight to sleep, and let good dreams appear!
So Chloe lay down for the first time that night
And promised herself she would not get a fright.
She climbed under the covers and put down her head
And then she saw something on the end of the bed!
It looked like a monster with sharp, shiny teeth
And a horrible nose, with hair underneath.
“Mummy!” she cried “come and turn on the light!
There’s a monster in here, I was right! I was right!”
So Mummy rushed in, in a flash she was there
“You big silly duffer, it’s your own teddy-bear!”
So Chloe lay down for the second time that night
And promised herself she would not get a fright.
She was just getting sleepy, her eyes nearly closed
When a crocodile jumped up and snapped at her nose!
He was slippery and slimy and really quite tall
And his tail made him nearly as long as the wall!
“Mummy!”, she cried “come and turn on the light!
There’s a crocodile here and he’s going to bite!”
So Mummy rushed in, (she knew what it would be)
“It’s a big funny shadow from the Jacaranda tree!”
So Chloe lay down for the third time that night
And promised herself she would NOT get a fright.
She lay down on her pillow, all covered with sheep
And she tried and she tried, but could not go to sleep.
She kept hearing noises and seeing bad things
Like flying platypuses with horns on their wings!
But this time she thought “I will NOT get a fright”
And she got out of bed and she turned on the light.
She laughed when she saw what had made her afraid -
A big stripey moth on her yellow lampshade!
So Chloe lay down for the last time that night
And never again did she call out in fright.
