The Animal Party

A bowlegged rabbit and A knock kneed racoon
Doing A Boogie by the light of the moon.
Let's have A party said the rabbit to the racoon
And invite all our friends, And lets make it soon.

So they invited all their friends to come to their party
With A special demand not to be tardy.
What A sight they made doing the boogie that night.
They boogied and they boogied till broad day light.

Everyone came, important or not,
The squirell, the snake, the little green frog, the dignified rooster,
The dirty old hog, the proper old buzzard, the proud old hen,
The prissy little robin all dancing with women and men.

They all love to boogie and boogie they did,
laughing and talking and behaving like kids.
The sun came up and the moon went down.
They were all so tired they fell to the ground.

There is A bare spot in the forest until this day,
Where the grass won't grow, so they say.
Every full moon from that day until this,
The animals all gather and boogie in bliss.
