When elephants fly off to India,
And crickets come out to bat,
We use hedgehogs just like velcro
And rabbits can smell a rat.
When tigers wash their stripes off
And look like mucky dogs,
Kangaroos are knitting jumpers
With the mists of London fogs.
When cats are catching hippos
And eating them up in trees,
And sheep are chasing sheepdogs
And honey is making bees.
When ants are fighting rhinos
And hyenas are deep in sadness
Worry not, my little tot,
It's just an animal madness.
