THE WALRUS
I really was a walrusThat looked just like a goat
I was never really happy
Unless I was afloat
I never got into the water
Unless I was in a boat
When I was people look at me so mean
And say I've never seen a walrus so green
Then one day I met a hippopotamus
Who to swim wore a pair of floats
He said he would get me a pair
For a ride in my motor boat
So now come what may
I can swim in the water every day
It's the hippopotamus that I should thank
Trouble is a hippo and a walrus in a boat
Made it too heavy so it sank.
