"Three Animals" lyrics

Three animals met one day, on their way to school
They started playing animal games like Hippomonopoly
And Crocodile Snap, and Kookaburra Rhyme
When they finished playing their games
They remembered the time

"We're late," laughed the kookaburra
"You're right," said the croc
The hippo said, "My watch is going tick-tick-tock"

Mrs. Rat, their teacher, was in an awful state
"What has happened to these three? Whatever is their fate?"
She called up the police, and told them her sad tale
They listened on the bush telegraph
And heard three animals wail

"We're late," laughed the kookaburra
"You're right," said the croc
The hippo said, "My watch is going tick-tick-tock"

Now those three animals learnt a lesson you'd never learn at school
There's time for playing silly games and acting like a fool
Now when they all arrived at school, everyone was happy
Smiling was the budgerigar, and the baby quacky

"We're late," laughed the Kookaburra
"You're right," said the Croc
The Hippo said, "My watch is going tick-tick-tock"
"We're late," laughed the kookaburra
"You're right," said the croc
The hippo said, "My watch is going tick-tick-tock"
