My mother said:

"My little pet,

you oughta learn the

al-pha-bet.

So in my soup

I used to get,

all the letters

of the

al-ph-bet.

I learned them all

from A to Z,

and now my mother's

giving me,

Animal crackers in my soup

monkies and rabbits loop the loop,

Gosh, oh gee, but I have fun,

swallowin' animals one by one.

In every bowl of soup I see,

lions and tigers watching me,

I mae 'em jump right thru a hoop,

those animal crackers in my soup



When I get hold

of the 'Big bad wolf'

I just push him under to drown.

Than I bite him

in a million bits

and I gobble him right down.

When they're inside me

where its dark,

I walk around like Noah's ark

I stuff my tummy like a goop

with animal crackers in my soup
