Going to the Zoo

I took the kids to the zoo yesterday.  The day before that, I started singing "Goin' to the Zoo" and here is our trip (along with some modified lyrics)!
Daddy Mommy’s taking us to the zoo tomorrow, zoo tomorrow, zoo tomorrow,
daddy Mommy’s taking us to the zoo tomorrow, and we can stay all day.

(Chorus)
We’re going to the zoo, zoo, zoo, how about you, you, you,
you can come too, too, too, we’re going to the zoo, zoo, zoo.
The elephant that never looks at us.
See the elephant with the long trunk tail swingin',
great big ears and a long trunk tail swingin'
Snuffin' up peanuts with a long trunk swingin',
and we can stay all day! (Chorus)
Snack break for little monkeys!
See all the monkeys they're scritch-scritch scratchin'
jumpin' around and scritch-scritch scratchin'
Hangin' by the long-tail (huff huff huff),
and we can stay all day! (Chorus)
The Downen Kids and Cousin Carson
There's a big black POLAR bear he's a huff-puff-a-puffin'
His coat's too heavy he's a huff-puff-a-puffin'
We've never seen the polar bear! It was the best part of the day!
Don't get too near the huff-puff-a-puffin',
or you won't stay all day! (Chorus)
Daniel sees the big walrus!
Well the seals walrus in the pool all honk-honk-honkin bubble-bubble-bubblin',
catchin' the fish and honk-honk-honkin bubble-bubble-bubblin'
This walrus has been around since I was a little girl!
Little tiny seals Big Giant Walrus all honk-honk-honkin bubble-bubble-bubblin',
and we can stay all day! (Chorus)
Taking time to roll down the hill-we are on no time restriction and can enjoy the day anyway we want!
Well we stayed all day and I'm gettin' sleepy, sittin' in the car gettin' sleep sleep sleepy
Home already gettin' sleep sleep sleepy, 'cause we have stayed all day.
Napping in the Ergo
We been to the zoo zoo zoo, so have you you you
You came too too too, we been to the zoo zoo zoo
Cousin Carson joined us today!
MOMMY'S TAKIN' US TO THE ZOO  BEACH TOMORROW!
Jaws
Zoo BEACH tomorrow, zoo BEACH tomorrow!
Mommy's takin' us to the zoo BEACH tomorrow, and we can stay all day!

And it's true.  We are going to the beach today!
