In the jungle, tall and strong
Lives a giraffe, oh so long
With a neck that reaches high
It's the tallest in the sky

In the bushes, fast and sleek
Lives a lizard, oh so meek
With scales that shine in the sun
It's a sight to see, not just fun

In the grass, slithering low
Lives a snake, oh so slow
With a hiss and a flick of the tongue
It can make the bravest run

In the caves, fierce and rough
Lives a bear, oh so tough
With a growl that echoes wide
It's the king of the forest side

In the rivers, strong and bold
Lives a crocodile, old and cold
With a snap of its jaws so wide
It can swallow anything in its stride

In the savanna, fast and free
Lives a tiger, oh so wild and spree
With stripes that shine in the light
It's a beauty, a majestic sight

In the water, big and round
Lives a hippo, on the ground
With a grumble and a nod of the head
It's the laziest in the jungle bed

In the trees, swinging so high
Lives a monkey, oh so spry
With a chirp and a laugh so gay
It's the clown of the jungle play

And last but not the least
In the fields, black and white at least
Lives a zebra, oh so proud
With stripes that stand out in the crowd.
