Human Beings Not Allowed
In the land of Timbuktoo
Two people lived there, one was you
The population went up to three
When a monkey fell from a tree
The monkey made an awful clatter
His family came down to see what was the matter
They all make a terrible to do
As over their heads flew a cockatoo
The cockatoo squawked, "What the heck?"
And bit a monkey in the neck
A sleepy mole came out of his hole
As a slippery snake slithered down a pole
A wolf howled from far away
In a shed a donkey brayed
"What's all the hullabaloo?"
Said a passing red kangaroo
Chasing after a frightened rat
Came a hungry, angry cat
A mouse scurried by in a hurry
It knew it had cause to worry
A lamb said "baa". a horse said "neigh"
You and I ran away
Realizing it wasn't fair
To have human beings living there
