At the watering hole
the wildabeasts
are gossiping the news
it's somebody's
BIRTHDAY
and he may have the
Blues!
so they all told the
zebras
who in turn told
giraffes
they all told the
elephants
they even told their
calves
pretty soon the whole
Savannah
knew that they must sing!
all the lions and the
bears and every bird
on wing!
so they sent up a chorus
all the grasslands
RANG!
even though it was
raucous
this is what they
sang...
HIPPO, BIRDIE, two EWES!
HIPPO, BIRDIE, two EWES!
HIPPO... BIRDIE
DEAR FRIEND,
HIPPO, BIRDIE, two EWES!
and many BOOOARS...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
