A special birthday party
For each animal there
They invited me to the party
Their special birthday party
I wanted to get a present
For each animal there

It's a-gonna be fun
But mind you
Wrapping up those things is gonna be a little trouble
But it's okay, they're gonna love it, gonna love it
Wait'll you see that cake and the hippo
Blowing out the candles!
Cha cha cha!
