4 Legged Zoo (new version)

[Music In Background]

Female Singer: we came to the 4 Legged Zoo

to see our 4 footed friends

Female Singer (continued): leopards, tigers

and panthers

an elk and a moose and a couple of deer

Male Singer: there's a rhino and of course a hippo

and oh yes

a boar

Other Male Singer: there were bears and foxes, a horse or 2

elephants and giraffes to name quite a few

Female Singer: a zebra, a llama, and ibex too

alpacas and 1 kudu

Male Singer: "It was super swell."

Female Singer: I reallly liked the gazelle."

Other Male Singer: "Now our teacher said-"

Male Singer: "He teaches school you know."

Other Female Singer: "Yeah right, he took us there."

Male Singer: "Well now our teacher said if we counted every single head on these quadrupeds then multiplied that number by 4, we'd know how many feet went through the door if we turned all of them loose."

Female Singer: "Don't do that,"

Other Male Singer: "it's a super groovy zoo."

Male Singer: "But anyhow, what our teacher said, it was a super good chance to work on our 4s in our own heads, 1, 2, 3, and 4."

Male Singer: I got the lion

Female Singer: 1 x 4

Male Singer: he has 4 legs

and maybe he could roar

Other Male Singer: I need 2 camels

Other Female Singer: that's 2 x 4

Male Singer: 8 legs walking

'cross the desert floor

Female Singer: a cheetha and a sheep and a kudu

would be 3 x 4 equals 12 legs too

but we need to subtract

that cheetah

Other Male Singer: 4 legged friends

no matter who

would have 16 legs

and it's always true

Other Female Singer: 4 x 4 = 16

5 x 4 = 20

Male Singer: now a pumpkin coach

and 6

if you were Cinderella

would have you at home by midnight

if those 24 legs went fast as light

Female Singer: 6 x 4 = 24

7 x 4 = 28

Other Male Singer: anyone knows that

who cares about 7

Male Singer: and 8 antelope have 32 legs

'cause 8 x 4 = 32

[Music Continues In Background]

Female Singer: here come a herd of buffalo

they say they're getting extinct

you know

Male Singer: I can count 9

that's 36 legs

Other Male Singer: 9 x 4 = 36

Other Female Singer: here comes 1 baby buffalo

Male Singer: "That's good."

Female Singer: "That's 10."

Other Male Singer: 10 x 4 you know

is 40

Male Singer: 11 coyotes

Female Singer: 11 x 4

Male Singer: went slinking over

the prairie floor

on all of their legs

Female Singer: = 4

[Music Continues In Background]

Male Singer: now 12 x 4'

is as high as we go

Female Singer: 12 x 4 = 48

Other Male Singer: but there was an entire lot more

critters standing there

by the gate

Other Female Singer: then we have to use

a pencil

if we counted all of them

and we really had excitement

and we saw 1 by 1

Male Singer: "A bear,"

Female Singer: "a cougar,"

Other Male Singer: "a jackal,"

Other Female Singer: "a yak,"

Male Singer: "a fox,"

Female Singer: some deer

and a nice giraffe

Other Male Singer: I can't remember

how many, many more

but we multiplied them all by 4

and some of them thanked us

with a kid friendly roar.
