A leopard spotted, in the shade,
A panther there, and then she made
A Staffs bull terrier turn its tail
By starting up a lion, male

A pekinese yaps on a little lead
The chihuahua's eye is like a bead.
Cat's pyjamas, the Siamese,
Thinks the Manx is the bees' knees.

The koala clings tight to the gum tree
The impala can't climb like a monkey
The rat is happiest underground
Axolotl can swim, round and around

Narwhal have twisty tusks, in northern seas
Beluga are like pincushions for creatures like these
The marlin is spiky too, but likes warmer climes
And the barracuda looks mean, as if used to crimes.

A crab pincered its way across the strand
And the lobster lies half buried in the sand.
A shoal of shrimps zooms nervously past
And the whelk holds fast, holds fast.

A stonefish on the bottom, could give you quite a shock
And the haddie is the only fish that ends in dock
The dab is quite small, I think a juvenile type of plaice
And the sprat- what can you say? part of the great fishy race.

A gnu is quite a beast you know
But a wildebeeste can blow
A hyena can make a chatter
But a lammergeier vulture can be quite a hatter

The penguin suits the polar floes
The ox just grunts, and puffs and blows,
Owls hoot nightly, in their hunts
And lambs are fond of aerobatic stunts

Weasel stoat marten mink
You're a weasel, for commiting such crimes
You stoat it, now you're doing hard times
If you'd marten up, you'd be free as a bird
Just mink things through, ignore the absurd.

Tamarin is a pretty monkey, playing monkey games
Cocker spaniel goes for walks, with my Uncle James
Emu had Rod Hull up there, where sun has never shone
And cockroach brings his mates along, to sing their cockroach song
All together now:
"My cockroach lies over the ocean...."

I dreamt of a flying fish, teaching a class,
And an angry bonito kicking his ass;
A jellyfish family all reading Dickens
To a flock of Mother Carey's chickens.

Do you mind if your bird is a cheetah
Would a lyre bird be any sweeter?

Do you want to know an egret? Well,
A cougar has one for lunch
Angora is hairy, like my cousin Mary
Silkworms have mulberries to munch

I know a mere cat down the street
But the gerbil is not good to eat.
Anteaters like to sniff out hills
But ants' antennas give him chills.

You're never alone with a bedbug
Dust mites cause asthma attack
Chiggers are not known where I'm at
And lice, they just keep coming back
