The Four-Legged Zoo
Music & Lyrics: Bob Dorough
Sung by: Bob Dorough
Animation: Paul Kimmelman and Associates
- We went to the four-legged zoo,
- To visit our four-footed friends.
- >> Lions and tigers, cats and dogs,
- >> A goat and a cow and a couple of hogs
- A rhinoceros and of course a hippopotamus,
- And, oh yes, a horse.
- >> An elk and a bison and a gnu or two,
- >> Giraffes and elephants, quite a few.
- A llama, alpaca, bicuna too,
- Zebras, xebexes, and one big kudu.
- It was swell! >> <I liked the gazelles!>
- >> <Now Miss Simpson said...>
- >> <She teaches school, you know.>
- >> <Yeah, she took us there!>
- >> <Well Miss Simpson said...>
- >> <If you counted every head on these quadripeds,
- >> then multiplied that number by four,
- >> We'd know how many feet went through the door
- >> If we turned 'em all loose!>
- >> <Oh no, don't do that!>
- >> <It's a really groovy zoo.>
- >> <But, anyway, what Miss Simpson said,
- >> It was a good chance to work with our fours in our head.
- >> One, two, three, four!>
- I'll take a lion... >> One times four
- He's got four legs and maybe a roar.
- >> Gimme two camels, that's two times four
- >> Eight legs walking 'cross the desert floor.
- A tiger and a lamb and a fat kudu
- We got three times four >> Equals 12 %legs too%
- But then I had to subtract when that tiger was through... Rowwwr!
- Four four-footed friends, no matter who
- Would have 16 legs, And it's always true...
- >> That four times four equals 16.
- >> Five times four is 20.
- <Now a coach and six, if you were Cinderella, would have you home
- by midnight, if those 24 legs ran fast as lightning...>
- >> Six times four equals 24...
- >> Seven times four equals 28...
- Anyone knows that, who cares about seven.
- And 8 antelope have 32 legs 'cause eight times four is 32.
- Here come a small herd of buffalo,
- They say they're gettin' extinct, y'know.
- >> I can count nine, that's 36 legs, Nine times four equals 36.
- >> Here comes a baby buffalo.
- That's good! That's ten.
- And ten times four, y'know, is 40....
- Eleven coyotes >> Eleven times four,
- Went slinking over the prairie floor on all of their legs...
- >> Equals 44.
- Now twelve times four is as high as we go...
- >> Twelve times four equals 48.
- But there were so very very many many more
- Animals standing there by the gate.
- But we'd have to use a pencil if we counted them all
- And we really had fun, and we saw every one:
- >> A bear, a cougar, a jackal, a yak,
- >> A fox, some deer, and a sweet giraffe
- But I can't remember how many, many more,
- But we multiplied them all by four.
- And some of them thanked us with a roar.
- To visit our four-footed friends.
