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 o' hogs

A rhinoceros and of course a hippopotamus

And oh yes a horse

There were elk and bison a gnu or two

Giraffes and elephants quite a few

A llama alpaca vicuna too

Zebras Ibexes and one big kudu

It was swell

I liked the gazelle

Now Miss Simpson said

She teaches school you know

Yeah she took us there

Well Miss Simpson said

If we counted every head on these

Quadrupeds

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 really a groovy zoo

But anyway

What Miss Simpson said

It was a good chance to work on

Our fours in

Our head

1-2-3-4

I'll take a lion 1 X 4

He's got four legs and maybe a roar

Gimme 2 camels that's 2 x 4

8 legs walking 'cross the desert floor

A tiger and a lamb and a fat kudu

Would be 3 x 4 equals 12 legs too

But we might have to subtract

When that tiger was through

Rrarr

Four 4-footed friends no matter who

Would have sixteen legs

And It's always true

That 4 X 4 equals 16

And 5 x 4 is 20

Now a coach and six

If you were Cinderella

Would have you home by midnight

If those twenty-four legs ran fast as light

6 x 4 equals 24 and 7 x 4 equals 28

Anyone knows that

Who cares about seven

And eight antelope have thirty-two legs

'Cause 8 x 4 is 32

Here come a small herd of buffalo

They say they're getting extinct

You know

I can count nine-that's thirty-six legs

9 x 4 equals 36

Here comes a baby buffalo

That's good That's ten

And 10 x 4 you know is 40

Eleven coyotes 11 X4

Went slinkin' over the prairie floor

On all of their legs equals 44

Now 12 X 4 is as high as we go

12 x 4 equals 48

But there were so very very many

Many more

Animals standing there by the gate

That 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

And I can't remember

How many many more

But we multiplied them all by four

And some of them thanked us with a roar
