The Zookeeper’s Place

There’s a rhino in my wardrobe, which caught me by surprise
Searching through my fancy dress to find a quick disguise

There’s a monkey lying on my bed, which caught me by surprise
He’s filled it up with bananas and cream and custard pies

There’s a python in the bathtub, I can’t quite believe my eyes
He’s coiled up on a speedboat, I hope it won’t capsize

There’s a hippo in the kitchen, which caught me by surprise
He’s finishing off my dinner of sausage, beans and fries

There’s a flamingo in the attic, now, I can’t take much more
Though I turn to see a kangaroo bouncing at my door

There’s a koala at my cornflakes and yes, that surprised me too
You’d think I’d be more used to it…living above the zoo!
