Rhymes and Fingerplays:
I Went to the Animal Fest
(tune: I Went to the Animal Fair)
I went to the Animal Fest
The creatures were dressed in their best
The lion and bear
Had beads in their hair
The gorilla wore a plaid vest.
The penguin wore his tux
And ribbons adorned the ducks
The mice and the bats
Wore beautiful hats
And the rabbits looked deluxe.
