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
