lyrics

DAD, I WANNA BE A CAMEL
©Kath Bee 2002
Well, I went to the zoo just the other day
And I saw lots of animals there
I saw a couple of camels and a kangaroo
And a big brown grizzly bear

CHORUS 1
And I said “Dad I wanna be a camel,
Or a bouncy kangaroo” and he said
“You haven’t got a hump or a pocket in the front
so you’ll just have to settle for YOU”

Well, I went to the zoo just the other day
And I saw some birds in there
I saw some geese and a swan and some parrots too
And lovebirds in a pair

CHORUS 2
And I said “Dad I wanna be a parrot
Talking all night a day” and he said
“Get some glue and a feather or two
‘cos you’ve always got something to say!!”

BRIDGE
Animals are fun to be around
But with two legs and this face
I’ve got to remember where I belong
And that’s to the human race
