I took a walk down Chestnut Street.

I saw some unbelievable things.

An elephant lumbered across the street

While carrying a smiling girl scout.

Five pigs danced around and around,

And one gave a loud, oinking shout.

A lizard was talking on his cell phone.

He was conversing with a snake.

A kangaroo was jumping up and down,

She was doing the shake and bake.

A little white mouse chased a cat.

Now that was a funny sight.

A giraffe was having a wonderful time

Flying an ostrich kite.

My word, have you ever seen

A rabbit hopping on a baboon?

Well I have seen it this very day.

It happened this afternoon.

A zebra and tiger exchanged stripes.

How proper they both behaved.

But the funniest thing that I had ever seen

Was a monkey getting a shave.

Yes, Chestnut Street was very bizarre,

But oh how I enjoyed my day.

Too bad I had to go back home.

I wish that I could stay.
