Animal Fair

I went to the animal fair,

The birds and the beasts were there,

The big baboon by the light of the moon,

Was combing his auburn hair.

The monkey smelled a skunk,

And fell on the elephant's trunk,

The elephant sneezed,

And fell on his knees,

And he's lucky he missed the monk.

100 Animals

I went to the zoo

And what did I see?

100 animals

Looking at me.

There were,

10 tall giraffes, eating from the trees.

10 silly monkeys, scratching on their knees.

10 sleeping snakes, lying in the sun.

10 munching elephants, eating peanuts one by one.

10 leaping tigers, performing in the shows,

10 pink flamingos, standing on their toes.

10 grouchy bears, trying to get some sleep.

10 happy hippos, in the water deep.

10 roaring lions, walking two by two.

10 galloping zebras, all living in the zoo

Jungle Animals

This is the way the elephant goes
(clasp hands together , extend arms, move back and forth)

With a curly trunk instead of a nose

The rhino all hairy and fat

Has a sharp horn in place of a hat

The hippo with his mouth so wide-

Let's see what's inside
(hands together and open wide and close them)

The wiggly snake upon the ground

Crawls along without a sound
(weave hands back and forth)

But monkey see monkey do

is the funniest animal I ever knew!
(place thumbs in ears and wiggle fingers)

Monkey on the Moon

I had a little monkey,
He learned to climb a string
He learned to climb a tree,
He climbed most everything!
(climb hand-over-hand, stand on tiptoes, and stretch)

One night he climbed a moonbeam,
Until he reached the sky
He grabbed the nearest star point
The moon was floating by!

(extend left arm, clench fist, wave right hand)

It's chilly on your moonbeam,
Excuse I must sneeze
God bless you! said the moon man
Have some of my green cheese!
(make sneezing sound, cover mouth with right hand)

Going to the Zoo

To the tune of: Skip to my Lou

Come along children, we're going to the zoo,
Come along children, we're going to the zoo,
Come along children, we're going to the zoo,
Going to the zoo today.

See the animals living in the zoo,
See the animals living in the zoo,
See the animals living in the zoo,
Living in the zoo today.

I see a monkey sitting in a tree,
I see a monkey sitting in a tree,
I see a monkey sitting in a tree
I see a monkey and it sees me.

I see an elephant, big and gray,
I see an elephant, big and gray,
I see an elephant, big and gray.
Big gray elephant is eating hay.

I see a lion in a cage,
I see a lion in a cage,
I see a lion in a cage.
I see a lion that roars with rage.

I see a camel with a great big hump,
I see a camel with a great big hump,
I see a camel with a great big hump.
When he walks he goes "bump, bump."

I see a zebra, black and white,
I see a zebra, black and white,
I see a zebra, black and white.
Seeing the zebra is a sight.

I see a giraffe, big and tall,
I see a giraffe, big and tall,
I see a giraffe, big and tall.
He's not hard to see at all.

We saw the animals living in the zoo,
We saw the animals living in the zoo,
We saw the animals living in the zoo.
Living in the zoo today.

Itsy Bitsy Monkey

The itsy bitsy monkey climbed up the coconut tree
(have hands climb)

Down came a coconut that bopped him on the knee
(drop fist from over head to hit yourself on the knee)

Along came his Mama, who kissed away the pain
(kiss your fist)

Then the itsy bitsy monkey climbed up the tree again
(climb hands again -having kids stretch as high as they can reach)

Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

(count on fingers)

Five little monkeys  
(hold 5 fingers up)
Jumping in the bed.

One fell off
(hold up 1 finger)
And bumped his head.

Momma called the doctor
(hold up hand to ear as a telephone)
And the doctor said,
"No more monkeys

Two little monkeys jumping in the bed.

Teasing Mr. Alligator, "can't catch me, can't catch me
(shaking your head, wag your finger like you're saying "no, no")
