There was not much to do down at the zoo They were all getting bored, wouldn't you? The keeper was called, we're out of our minds Help us out, if you'd be so kind
The keeper said, so what can I do? I'd like to help but give me a clue
Well, said the giraffe it may sound daft But I've always wanted to play the harp You know what, said the baboon I would like a big bassoon The emu said, I really do feel A hankering after a glockenspiel The lemur requested a violin Certain he'd coax a tune from the thing The elephants stood all in line Already they could trumpet in time The gorilla said he could use his thumb To bang away on a big bass drum
They all got their wish, it was quite a scene And proudly they played God Save the Queen
