Away we go to the famous Zoo'
With Bertie, and Nellie, and Dick, and Sue. / And we feel quite ready to jump for glee / When the wonderful birds and beasts we see. / The pelican solemn with monster beak, / And the plump little penguin round and sleek, / Have set us laughing -- Ha, ha! Ho! ho! / And you'll laugh too, if you look below. / To the monkey-house then we make our way, / Where the monkeys chatter, and climb, and play; / At the snakes we peep, then onward stroll, / To talk to the parrots, and "scratch a poll," / And after all that, there will still be time / On the patient elephant's back to climb.
