lyrics

All lined up at the gate
Check your watch, we're running late
See the animals, two-by-two
Now, you know what what to do

Please, please, mind the menagerie
Please, please, mind the menagerie
Guide them safely home

Please, please, lead them carefully
Please, please, lead them carefully
Keep them safe from harm

Keep the path free of enemies
It's a reasonable strategy
Swing a broom to clear the way
Keep those predators at bay

The only path that's free to use goes through the alpaca pool
Cleared away two out of three. Mr Humps will have some company

Please, please, mind the menagerie
Please, please, mind the menagerie
Guide them safely home

Please, please, lead them carefully
Please, please, lead them carefully
Keep them safe from harm

Keep the path free of enemies
It's a reasonable strategy
Swing a broom to clear the way
Keep those predators at bay

And when the day is done
And the beasts have had their fun
What adventure waits
Tomorrow at the gate

Dogs and ponies waking in a row
The kittens know which way to go
The day is coming to an end
For all our fuzzy friends
Goose and gander heading off to bed
To rest their tiny feathered heads
They sleep, but they can hardly wait
To come together at the gate

Please, please, mind the menagerie
Please, please, mind the menagerie
Please, please, mind the menagerie
Please, please, mind the menagerie
