Once Mother said "My litle pet   you ought to learn your alphabet!"   So in my soup I used to get   All the letters of the alphabet   I learned them all from A to Z   And now my mother's giving me      Animal crackers in my soup   Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop   Gosh, oh gee! but I have fun   Swallowing animals one by one      In every bowl of soup I see   Lions and tigers watching me   I make 'em jump right through a hoop   Those animal crackers in my soup      When I get hold of the big bad wolf   I just push him under to drown   Then I bite him in a million bits   And I gobble him right down!      When they're inside me where it's dark   I walk around like noah's ark   I stuff my tummy like a goof   With animal crackers in my soup!      Animal crackers in my soup   Do funny things to me   They make me think my neighbourhood   Is a big menagerie      For instance, there's our janitor   His name is mr. klein   And when he hollers at us kids   He reminds me of a lion      The grocer is so big and fat   He has a big moustache   He looks just like a walrus   Just before he takes a splash!
