I’m going to the zoo today

Would you like to go with me?

We’ll watch gorillas swing on ropes

See monkeys in the trees.

There’s a petting zoo for hands-on fun

With goats and horses too.

Oh I know we’ll have such fun

When we both go to the zoo.

We’ll stretch up on our tippy-toes

For a view of the giraffe.

His body short and neck so long

Always makes me laugh.

There are tigers and a lion

With cubs along her side

We must be very quiet~ shhh

So they don’t run off and hide.

Many other sites for us to see

And things for us to do

I’ll save the rest for a surprise

Once we both get to the zoo!
