The Animal Band

 


The Animal Band 

(A Good Song for Circus Time)

By MARION MITCHELL  and CHURCHILL-GRINDELL  

The Animal Band came down the street,
The morning before the show,
It made me laugh to see the Giraffe,
He blew a  big horn, you know.-

The Monkey sat on the  Elephant's back,
And jingled a tambourine,
While made rum ti tum went the big bass drum,
Round the  E1phant's neck twas seen.-

But the Grizz ly Bear in his striped suit,
Was the funniest thing in town,
He nodded, grinned, turned somersaults too,
For he was the circus clown .-
