A spider, a mouse, and a lizard too
Along with a sheep and a tiger so true
A snake, a horse, and a goat on the way
And a monkey and hippo to come out and play

These creatures all roam, in the wild and at home
Each with a story, each with a tale to be known
Some fast like the horse, some climb like a monkey
Others slither like snakes, they're all just so funky

So listen and learn, of these creatures so fine
Each with a unique touch, all good and benign
So love and respect, every creature you meet
For they're all a part of this world, so sweet.
