Raining Orangutans

One warm day in May
It started raining Orangutans

Which in itself would be deranged 
If it wasn't so very strange

They puddled up in the street
Which made walking slippery 

Don't go out without galoshes on
Stay inside and hide if you have monkey phobias

Cause they're coming down rather hard
In the trees and in the yards

You can hear a certain jungle beat
To Orangutan pitter patter under feet

If you have a boat to row
It might be good to set sail now

It just so happens one day in May
It started raining Orangutans

Which in itself would be deranged
If it wasn't so very strange
