Bill Shontz - Animal Tales lyrics

Big as a guppy Small as a while Slow as a race horse Fast as a snail When I'm feelin' blue What do I do? I sing a silly animal tale Peter the Porcupine's pricklish His quills stand up sharply and thicklish Though he'd never tell We all know very well That his belly is really quite ticklish Ollie the open-eyed Otter Summers at camp near the water He swims like a jet He don't even get wet 'Least that's what he tells Mudder and Fadder Big as a guppy Small as a whale Slow as a race horse Fast as a snail When I'm fellin' blue What do I do? I sing a silly animal tale Sammy the Skunk is no thinker But he's a good tiddlywinker He adores his bouquet But all others would say "Sammy is really a stinker!" Toby the toothless Toucan Really chews better than Fu Man In peak physique He can tune up his beak And can play "Cucaracha" for you, man Terry Tarantula's hairy Most people consider him scary Yet he's most often found In his hole in the ground With the eight-legged girl that he married An Elephant married a Rhino The kids were the strangest that I know When people saw 'em They'd say, "What d'you call 'em?" I had to reply, "Eli-phino!" Big as a guppy Small as a while Slow as a race horse Fast as a snail When I'm feelin' blue What do I do? I sing a silly animal tale When I'm feelin' blue What do I do? I sing a silly animal tale
