There are lions and roaring tigers,

and enormous camels and things,

There are biffalo-buffalo-bisons,

and a great big bear with wings.

There's a sort of a tiny potamus,

and a tiny nosserus too -

But I gave buns to the elephant

when I went down to the Zoo!



There are badgers and bidgers and bodgers,

and a Super-in-tendent's House,

There are masses of goats, and a Polar,

and different kinds of mouse,

And I think there's a sort of a something

which is called a wallaboo -

But I gave buns to the elephant

when I went down to the Zoo!



If you try to talk to the bison,

he never quite understands;

You can't shake hands with a mingo -

he doesn't like shaking hands.

And lions and roaring tigers

hate saying, "How do you do?" -

But I give buns to the elephant

when I go down to the Zoo!
