Animal Fair 
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Rebecca Wave



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 he got drunk
And sat on the elephant's trunk
The elephant sneezed and fell on her knees
But what became of the monk, the monk
The monk, the monk
But what became of the monk? 

The kangaroo was dressed 
In an elegant velvet vest 
The horse and pig were dancing a jig 
To the tune they loved the best
The seal began to croon
While juggling pink balloons
The kangaroo had nothing to do 
But rattle the silver spoons, the spoons
The spoons, the spoons
But rattle the silver spoons

The lion made a bow
And tried to kiss the cow
The cow refused with several moos
Which made the lion howl
The parrots in the trees 
Were watching the chimpanzees
The chimps were shy and covered their eyes
And swung on the high trapeze, with ease
With ease, with ease
And swung on the high trapeze
