Animal Crackers In My Soup

Once Mother said "My little pet You ought to learn your alphabet!" So in my soup I used to get All the letters of the alphabet I learned them all from A to Z And now my Mother's giving me Animal crackers in my soup Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop Gosh, oh gee! but I have fun Swallowing animals one by one In every bowl of soup I see Lions and tigers watching me I make 'em jump right through a hoop Those animal crackers in my soup When I get hold of the big bad wolf I just push him under to drown Then I bite him in a million bits And I gobble him right down! When they're inside me where it's dark I walk around like Noah's Ark I stuff my tummy like a goop With animal crackers in my soup! Animal crackers in my soup Do funny things to me They make me think my neighborhood Is a big menagerie For instance, there's our Janitor His name is Mr. Klein And when he hollers at us kids He reminds me of a lion The grocer is so big and fat He has a big mustache He looks just like a walrus Just before he takes a splash! --- Animal Crackers in My Soup - Shirley Temple
