Chickens are too Chickeny
Chickens are too chickeny
And dogs are far too doggish,
Geese are far too goosified
And frogs are far too froggish,
Hamsters are too hamster-ish
As far as I can see,
These animals should all behave
A little more like me!
And dogs are far too doggish,
Geese are far too goosified
And frogs are far too froggish,
Hamsters are too hamster-ish
As far as I can see,
These animals should all behave
A little more like me!
