Hayley's Ukulele by George Kirk

11/14/2016

My cousin Hayley has a ukulele
She received as a birthday gift.
She’d wanted a puppy she was going to call Lucky,
So at first she was really quite miffed.

MONKEY MUSIC by Rebecca Colby

1/5/2014

0 Comments

 
I know a chimpanzee who plays the violin,
the tuba, the accordion, the flute and mandolin.
He plays the clarinet and he plays the saxophone,
the drums and the cello and the slide trombone. 
But he won’t be happy ‘til he masters the bassoon, 
So he’s taking lessons soon from his cousin—a baboon.

The Wompoo Tune by Laura Louise Stewart

Wompoo pigeons coo
This is what they do
Start up the zoo band
When it perches on my hand

Trumptey tu tu
You can join in too!
Sing the wompoo song
As the zoo folk march along

Ooey Oo Oo Oo
Monkeys shout woo hoo!
See chimps move their feet
To that funky wompoo beat

Zabba dabba zoo
Zebras boogaloo!
Grooving to the tune
Of the hippo’s deep bassoon

Boppitty boo boo
Next come kangaroos!
Watch them bounce and drop
Getting low, the zoo hip-hop

Parp-itty poop poop
Warthogs step and toot!
Who needs jungle drums?
When you’ve got musical bums

Shoopy shoop shoo shoo
Meerkats hula hu!
All the zoo’s alive
With the jazzy wompoo jive

Doo-wop diddy do
..Wait…
Where is that wompoo?
What is that you say?
Oh, he must have flown away
