Let’s Monkey About
(Gary Huntbatch)
Chorus:
Let’s Monkey about in Africa..
Let’s all go ape in Africa
Let’s monkey about scratch our armpits and shout
Oo oo oo oo Lets monkey about
Chimpanzees are intelligent
They make tools they laugh they play
They can spend time alone…or with company
Sometimes they get together for a PARTY
Baboons like to live in the savanna
They travel around in groups called troops
In ancient Egypt they had a Baboon god named baba
And baboons love to eat bananas
spoken (is a baboon a monkey or an ape)
Chorus..Let’s Monkey about in Africa
It’s something we can do all day
Let’s monkey about scratch our armpits and shout
Oo oo oo oo Lets monkey about
We all love the monkey
And we love the ape
The difference between them is a monkey has a tail
But not so the ape…..so a baboon is an ape..Yes
The Colubus monkey and the monkey Dianna
The monkey Tana too
Lemurs and Mandrill’s and many more like these
Like to spend a lot of time in trees
Chorus
Let’s Monkey about in Africa
It’s something we can do all day
Let’s monkey about scratch our armpits and shout
Oo oo oo oo Lets monkey about
.Repeat chorus and ending with everyone doing monkey sounds
IN THE SAVANNA

A BLACK RHINOCEROS IS NURSING IT’S YOUNG
Chorus: HARMONY, HARMONY, IN THE SAVANNA
HARMONY, HARMONY, IN THE SAVANNA
LIONS HIDE IN THE TALL GRASS,
THEY STALK THE ANTELOPE AND THE GIRAFFES
THE FEMALE LION HAS TO CATCH THE FOOD.
WILDEBEESTS AND ZEBRAS GRAZE,
IN THE WATER THE WATERBUCK STAYS,
SPRINGBOKS SPRING ACROSS THE PLAINS
THE GRASS GROWS HIGHER WHEN IT RAINS.
SEE THE SECRETARY BIRD, STRIDING PAST THE KUDU HERD
CHASING SNAKES AND CATCHING LIZARDS TOO.
Chorus: HARMONY, HARMONY, IN THE SAVANNA
HARMONY, HARMONY, IN THE SAVANNA
GORILLA
Yurgen Ilaender (Mr. I) June 2002
Verse:
A GORILLA IS STILLA GORILLA,
AND IT GIVES MY HEART A CHILLA
TO THINK OF HOW, IN THE OLDEN DAYS
GORILLAS WERE HURT IN SO MANY WAYS
BUT IT MAKES MY HEART FEEL GOOD TODAY
THAT NOW WE LEAVE THEM ALONE
Verse 2:
A GORILLA IS STILLA GORILLA
AND IT CERTAINLY WOULD BE A THRILLA
TO BE OUT ON A JUNGLE TRACK AND COME FACE TO FACE WITH A SILVERBACK
HE WOULD SCREECH AND HOWL , BUT HE WOULDN’T ATTACK
CAUSE HE JUST WANTS TO BE LEFT ALONE
Chorus; GRRRRRRRRRR ILLA, GRRRRRRRRRRRILLA
IN THE MOUNTAINS OR IN THE LOWLANDS, WHEREVER THEY MAY BE
GRRRRRRRRRRRRR ILLA, GRRRRRRRRRILLA
LET’S LEAVE THEM ALONE, LET’S LET THEM BE, ————— FREE.
Vesre: A GORILLA IS STILLA GORILLA, EACH DAY THEY EAT THEIR FILLA
THEY WANDER WITH THEIR GORILLA GROUP, A GORILLA GROUP IS CALLED A TROOP.
THEY ALL KNUCKLEWALK, WITH A STOOP,
AND THEY JUST WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE.
A GORILLA IS STILLA GORILLA, NO ANIMALS DO THEY KILLA.
THEY ARE VEGETARIANS THROUGH AND THROUGH,
THEY EAT PLANTS, LEAVES, STEMS AND ROOTS,
THEY ARE PEACEFUL, JUST LIKE ME AND YOU, AND THEY LIKE TO BE LEFT ALONE.
Chorus: GRRRRRRRRRRILLA………………….
OKAPI
Mr. I (January, 2002)
CAN YOU SEE, THE OKAPI, STANDING BY THE BAOBAB TREE?
HE’S VERY STILL, HE’S VERY SHY, BUT YOU CAN SEE HIM IF YOU TRY.
YOU MIGHT THINK HE’S A DONKEY,
BY HIS SHAPE AND HIS BODY BLACK
YOU MIGHT THINK HE’S A ZEBRA
BY THE STRIPES UP AND DOWN HIS BACK
AND JUST FOR A LAUGH, HA HA HA, JUST FOR A LAUGH, HA HA HA
HIS HEAD IS SHAPED EXACTLY, LIKE THAT OF A GIRAFFE.
CAN YOU SEE THE OKAPI, STANDING BY THE MAHOGANY TREE
HE’S QUITE UNIQUE, HE’S VERY RARE, HE ONLY LIVES IN ZAIRE
ONLY ABOUT THIRTY THOUSAND, LEFT IN THE WORLD TODAY.
MANY ZOOS NOW HOUSE THEM, GIVING THEM A PLACE TO STAY.
HIS TONGUE IS VERY LONG, HA HA HA
HIS TONGUE IS VERY LONG, HA HA HA
TO BREAK BUDS AND LEAVES FROM THE BRANCHES
IT IS ALSO VERY STRONG..
CAN YOU SEE, THE OKAPI
WAITING BY THE JACARANDA TREE
NO IT’S NOT A ZEBRA, , , NOT QUITE A GIRAFFE
IT’S AN OKAPI, AN OKAPI, , NOT A GIRAFFE, IT’S AN OKAPI

WITH IT’S TEAR LINE FACE IT HAS TO RACE. IN ORDER TO SURVIVE.
Chorus: THE CHEETAH RUNS FAST……….

MOTHER IS THE HUNTER, GAZELLES AND IMPALASSHE SHARES HER CATCH WITH HER BABY CHEETAHS.
Bridge:n ONE HUNDRED AND TEN KILOMETERS PER HOUR, IN MILES PER HOUR THAT’S SEVENTY.
` IN TWO SECONDS FLAT SHE’D BE GOING TWICE AS FAST AS THE SPEED ZONE BY YOUR SCHOOL.
YOU MIGHT BE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, YOU MIGHT BE DRIVING VERY FAST.
BUT IF YOU LOOKED QUICKLY, YOU JUST MIGHT SEE, A CHEETAH RUNNING PAST !
Chorus; THE CHEETAH RUNS FAST……..
Verse 3: THEY CAN ONLY RUN FOR A SHORT WHILE, THEY GET TIRED VERY QUICK.
ONCE THEY CATCH THEIR PREY THEY HAVE TO STAY AND REST BEFORE THEY EAT.
TEN THOUSAND LEFT IN AFRICA, ONLY A FEW HUNDRED LEFT IN ASIA.
DISAPPEARING GRASSLANDS ARE THEIR HABITAT, SADLY THEIR ENDANGERED.
THE CHEETAH RUNS FAST (three times)
THERE SHE GOES, THERE SHE GOES, THERE SHE GOES …

Now have a listen to the talking drum..
Sending its message across the land
It has different tones a drum telephone
Telling you to dance dance dance to the African band

ELEPHANT POEM
(Yurgen Ilaender, Mr. I)
THREE BIG ELEPHANTS WALKING IN THE GRASS
ENJOYING ALL THE WONDERFUL SIGHTS THEY PASSED.
ONE SAW SOME YUMMY LOOKING LEAVES TO CHEW
THE OTHERS KEPT GOING,
AND THEN THERE WERE TWO
TWO BIG ELEPHANTS WALKING IN THE GRASS
ENJOYING ALL THE WONDERFUL SIGHTS THEY PASSED
ONE FOUND SOME WATER, SPRAYING IT WAS FUN
THE OTHERS KEPT GOING
AND THEN THERE WAS ONE.
ONE BIG ELEPHANT WALKING IN THE GRASS
ENJOYING ALL THE WONDERFUL SIGHTS HE PASSED
HE LAID HIMSELF DOWN
TO BASK IN THE SUN
AND SIMPLY FELL ASLEEP
AND THEN THERE WERE NONE.
ELEPHANTS ARE BIG
(Gary Huntbatch)
Elephants are big…Elephants are big
It’s something I’ve noticed…elephants are big
Do elephants play …do they like to skip
They’d have to be careful ..not to trip
When doing a cartwheel ..or a back flip
Did you know that their trunk is their upper lip
Do elephants play…do they have a track meet
Racing with their friends …it sounds kinda neat
All that weight pounding down.. in the dust and the heat
They have shock absorbing tissue…in the soles of their feet
Elephants are big…Elephants are big
It’s something I’ve noticed…elephants are big
My oh my…. what big ears they have
They use them to signal and to keep themselves cool
They can use them to threaten ..and scare you away
Or to listen to the quiet at the end of the day
Do elephant play ….do they swim like the hippo’s
Can they jump.. can they fly… who really knows
Or maybe country dancing ….learning do-ce-do’s
Did you know on their feet..that they have five toes
Elephants are big…Elephants are big
It’s something I’ve noticed…elephants are big
Yes Elephants are big…Elephants are big
I think we’ve all noticed…that elephants are big
