Elephants and antelopes and kangaroos Wallabies and penguins from the zoo Snakes and squirrels and little brown bats Acrobatic circus cats Blue fish, red fish, galloping goats Puffins and camels and piranhas in moats Dinosaur babies and cows and pigs And a horse is small as a dog is big Chorus: And I wish I really wish I really really wish They could be my pets Oh please, pretty please From the bottom of my heart to the top of my head I'll be good, really good I'll be really really good -- and you know I would Feed ‘em all every day And at night I'd tuck ‘em all in their beds Ocelets and lots of sloths and fleas A great horned owl and a chimpanzee
A gecko and a goose and a humpbacked whale A Minnesota minnow and a South Dakota snail A tiger that can hop on just one leg Seventeen chipmunks doing a jig An anteater parakeet dolphin frog And a big is small as a horse is dog Chorus To sleep, we'll sleep, all my animal friends and me And we'll dream, oh we'll dream Of all the things we'll do tomorrow Jumping and bouncing and climbing in trees Swimming to the bottom of the deep blue sea Tunnel with the ants buzz with a bee Ride a unicorn unicycle up in a tree And if you say “NO” to that How ‘bout maybe a dog or a cat? Chorus Me and my animal friends
