Barrel of Monkeys

Be free as a bird spread your wings and fly
Be brave as a lion and busy as a bee
Go slow to go fast like a tortoise try
So kind and gentle you wouldn’t hurt a flea

Whether you’re horsing around…or hungry as a bear
Busy as a beaver…or like an eagle dare
Stubborn as a mule…strong as an ox
A social butterfly…wily as a fox
As tall as a giraffe…as slow as a snail
Grab the bull by the horns…and the tiger by the tail

 

Be the early bird with a bird’s eye view
Birds of a feather always flock together
Whatever kind of weather, whether it’s raining cats and dogs
Slippery as a fish or slimy as a frog

So buzz off you lucky dog
We let the cat outta the bag
When the cat’s away the mice will play
But we’ll be back another day
So see ya later alligator, after a while crocodile
We’ll have a whale of a good time
We’ll be the cat’s pajamas, and the cat’s meow
More fun than a barrel of monkeys
Funner than a barrel of monkeys
