The Naming

A game? What sort of game?
Naming the animals!

Come and gather in the meadow
In the meadow, in the sun
Come together everyone
Now the naming has begun.

Leave your burrow, field, and furrow
For the meadow and the sun
Come and gather everyone
Now the naming has begun
The naming, the naming.

The naming, the naming
Ah ah ah oh way ah
Two footed
Four footed
Six footed
More footed
Fleet-footed
Sure-footed
What a grand array-o!
Duck-billed and red-breasted
Star-nosed and quill-crested
No wonder you rested on the seventh day-o!

Stripe and spot
Feather and fur
Maybe you forgot
How many there were.

Hoot and honk
Whistle and purr
Flap and gallop and hop
Once you started making them
It seems you couldn't stop.

Come and gather in the meadow
In the meadow in the sun
Come together everyone
Now the naming has begun.

WOMEN simultaneously as above
Two-footed, four-footed
Six-footed, more footed
Fleet-footed, sure-footed
What a grand array-o!

The naming, the naming!
All right, let's start with A, for Adam
A! Ahhh...Aardvark!
My turn! That one over there is an aardwolf!
Addax
Agama
Agouti
Alligator
Amphiuma
This is fun!
Anaconda
Antelope
Armadillo
Avadavat
Axolotl
Aye-aye
Aye-aye?
Aye-aye!
Aye aye aye, we'll never be done!

Wings are waving, tails are wagging
Kangaroo, kinkajou
Komodo dragon
Lion, lemur
Hartebeest, hare
Chimpanzee and cinnamon bear
Numbat, wombat, janguarundi
Deermouse, doormouse, coati mundi
Peccary, porcupine and pronghorn

Come and gather in the meadow
In the meadow in the sun
Come together everyone.

Ah ah ah oh way ah
It is done!
