Thanks For the Weekend

mummy took me to the zoo,
and just guess what i saw.
i saw a real big old lion,
with a big old mighty roar.

we walked a little further, dad,
and just guess what i saw.
piggies in the mud,
and a big old ugly boar.

we walked a little further,dad,
and just guess what i saw,
a hippo and a rhino,
drinking near a waterfall.

we walked a little further,dad,
and just guess what i saw.
monkeys' playing chasing,
like i'd never seen before.

we walked a little further,dad,
and just guess what i saw.
moo cows eating grass,
and a donkey eating straw.

there were chickens in the coop,dad,
and geese about the floor,
i even saw a llama.
scratching up against the door.

we walked a little further,dad,
and just guess what i saw.
day was getting dark,
and i couldnt see no more.

we walked a little further,dad,
and came upon the end.
i said to mummy,thankyou,
and thanks for the weekend.
