  "The monkeys stand for honesty,
  Giraffes are insincere,
  And the elephants are kindly but
  They're dumb.
  Orangutans are skeptical
  Of changes in their cages,
  And the zookeeper is very fond of rum."

  

• Going To The Zoo - a song (YouTube)
  - the LYRICS (mydfz.com)
  "See the elephant with the long trunk swingin',
  Great big ears and long trunk swingin',
  Snuffin' up peanuts with the long trunk swingin';
  We can stay all day."
