dromedary
Acheta domesticus
Arctic beetle
Humuhumunukunukuapuaa
I rode a dromedary in the Indian desert, the Thar.
And an acheta domesticus came up and stole my car.
But the nearest things to arctic beetles well and truly are
The humuhumunukunukuapuaa.
A beautiful Hawaiian name - is it a humming bird?

flower pecker
golden oriole

WHERE THE HELL does this song come from
First guy sez Hawaii gets a Cinncinnatti tune up.
Holy crap farmerman....that's a mindbender for me. I just got in 2 hours later than expected from a gig. I'm gonna have to think about that, unless Letty or someone else can find the answer.
humming bird
flower pecker
golden oriole
rosy starling
Trumpet flowers call hummingbirds over and over again,
and flower peckers snoop the loop over and over, when,
golden orioles soar and flee, to Zeider Zee and past long more,
to where the shore is covered - more starlings, more rosies, starlings galore.
Ossobuco has failed to provide us with a further quartet of animals. Anyone else like to?
Farmerman: Maybe this will help. When I was a kid, my mom had a Ukelele Ike songbook with Hawaian songs. I thinkI still have that book somewhere. I also have several recordings of Little Grass Shack, one with Arthur Godfrey.

And brown is the big ole Grizzly Bear

Yellow bellied marmot
Barren Ground caribou

The yellow pine chipmunk was in a funk,
the yellow bellied marmot said "What the funk?"

while the surrounding cattle had a fervor.
Cricket
Locust

Jiminy cricket, I've lost my biscuit
The locust is nigh so I'd better risk it
And let the sun bear out of the trap I made
And get my cavalier King Charles spaniel speyed.

And there's a chickaree living in my sofa.
