Tutti Frutti
If porcupines chew clementines,
Pangolins munch mandarins
And iguanas bite bananas,
Gannets peck pomegranates
Cormorants chomp blackcurrants
And guillemots adore apricots,
Pumas slurp satsumas,
Flamingos favour mangoes
And newts guzzle grapefruit,
Piranhas scoff sultanas,
Leeches love peaches,
Pigs pick figs
And bears prefer pears,
Why does my horse crunch apples?
Pangolins munch mandarins
And iguanas bite bananas,
Gannets peck pomegranates
Cormorants chomp blackcurrants
And guillemots adore apricots,
Pumas slurp satsumas,
Flamingos favour mangoes
And newts guzzle grapefruit,
Piranhas scoff sultanas,
Leeches love peaches,
Pigs pick figs
And bears prefer pears,
Why does my horse crunch apples?
