"Animal Crackers" lyrics
"Animal Crackers"
Oh, eat your animal crackers
'Cause my mother told me so long ago
"If you eat your animal crackers
The children in Europe won't starve anymore"
Ha ha ha...
Oh, once I went on a diet
A carbohydrate diet ain't nice
'Cause you can't eat animal crackers
So, I'm gonna stay a fatty for all of my life
Ha ha ha...
But some people think that fatties are nice, yeah
I love eating ice-cream
Chocolate, vanilla and butter pecan
But I best love animal crackers
'Cause I love helping my fellow man
Yeah, I really do
Did you ever hear of Alice's restaurant?
I eat at Alice's restaurant year after year
She makes an animal cracker pizza, ha
And she gives animal crackers out free with the beer
Oh, let's give Alice a great big cheer
She knows the age of the animal cracker is here
Ah, animal crackers are in this year
Ha ha ha...
Oh, lalala...
