Traditional song
I went to the animal fair.
The birds and the beasts were there.
The big baboon by the light of the moon
Was combing his auburn hair.
The monkey jumped and jumped,
And sat on the elephant's trunk.
The elephant sneezed (aah-aah-Aah-CHOO!),
And fell on his knees.
And what became of the monk, the monk,
And what became of the monk, the monk,
And what became of the monk?
Note: there are many versions of this song, this one is from Laurie Berkner's CD Whaddaya Think of That?, opens a new window
Variant activity: use a scarf, scrunch it up in your hands and let it pop out when the elephant sneezes!
