Band orchestrated by the deniable dictator, diabolical gorilla king
Causing loads of premature bragging from delighted grand-animals.
Deliriously enthusiastic orangutans began to show off their voice prowess.
Excited flocks, herds,...

With their lunatic style of slapstick
These old favourites made their mark
Bangs on head, eye pokes and arse kicks
Were transformed to works of art
