Wouldn’t It Be Funny
Now, wouldn’t it be funny
If the creatures in the Zoo
Were all let out to walk about
And look at me and you?
And wouldn’t it be funny
If they put us in the cages,
And Kangaroos and Cockatoos
Came guessing at our ages?
And wouldn’t it be funny
If the Hip-po-pot-amus
Said, “Don’t go near, I really fear
They’re very dangerous.”
