My parents encouraged me to sing the first few lines of this when I was 3 or 4 - and since I loved dogs, I also liked the song.

My mom sang this to me and I liked to sing it-
"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, he got drunk,
And sat on the elephant's trunk.
The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees,
And what became of the monk, the monk?
|: The monk, the monk, the monk. :|

She also used to sing, "My mother told me that she would buy me a rubber dolly if I was good, but then I told her I loved a soldier, she would not buy me that rubber dolly."

and "Makin' Whoopee"....I wasn't sure what it meant, but I thought it was a funny song. ;)
